Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Reading Endorsement

The reading endorsement consists of three courses that extend teachers’ knowledge and skills in the area of literacy. Candidates examine best practices for fostering literacy in schools, implementation of these practices in classrooms, and the research upon which they are founded. Candidates will assess and analyze student data, implement culturally responsive literacy practices within authentic contexts, plan for remediation for students experiencing literacy difficulties, and communicate results with stakeholders.
