Students will complete state requirements for initial teacher certification in the area of EC-6 Generalist. Students completing this program will learn and demonstrate how to serve as an effective literacy teacher and leader through synthesis and application of knowledge regarding the interrelated components of reading, writing, speaking, and listening across developmental stages of oral and written language. Degree candidates will also learn and demonstrate sufficient theoretical and experiential knowledge for serving as an ethical and effective teacher, advocate, and leader for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
Students completing this Accelerated Bachelor's and Master's Program will take the following courses at the graduate level as substitutes for their undergraduate cross-listed course requirements, thereby requiring 30 instead of the regular 36 graduate hours for the program beyond the regular undergraduate degree requirements.
READ 5332 Reading: Diagnosing and Correcting Reading Difficulties
READ 5333 Reading: Clinical Experiences in Correcting Reading Difficulties (S-L)
