Description
The newly approved Graduate Certificate in Reading Education Program begins in Summer 2003.
The purpose of this certificate program is to provide classroom teachers with an emphasis on research-based strategies for teaching reading. The courses in this program will satisfy the new legislation recently passed by the state of Florida. Classroom teachers completing the proposed certificate program will be able to add the new reading endorsement to their teaching certificate. It is expected by the state of Florida that every elementary teacher by the year 2005 will have this new reading endorsement.
The aim of the certificate program is to help prepare in-service classroom teachers in the teaching of reading through a straightforward, concise presentation of essential knowledge of performance areas.
Admission
Admission is open to those with a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited
institution. An application to the graduate certificate program and official transcripts must be submitted. Applicants are encouraged to apply online.
