Summer Professional Development |
Teaching a person to read requires a complex and carefully balanced mix of professional knowledge and skills in interpersonal communication, analysis, problem-solving, motivation, leadership and assessment. At B-W, teachers master these skills and open the world of language, ideas and opportunities to their students through the written word.
The MAEd in Reading examines the developmental stages of reading and writing, with focus on evaluation methods and instructional approaches, diagnostic and corrective reading methods, research in literacy education, and a survey of child and adolescent literature.
The program includes a practicum in which students work with children who have been referred for reading difficulties, evaluating, planning and implementing remedial programs for them.
- The MAEd in Reading is 34 semester hours, and allows teachers to add the Reading endorsement to an existing teaching license.
- This part-time program may be completed in as little as two years.
- Classes are scheduled in the early evening during the school year and mornings during the summer.
- MAEd candidates must pass a written comprehensive exam prior to graduation. Successful completion of Praxis II is required for endorsement eligibility.
- The Reading specialization may be selected as part of the License+Master's Program. License+Master’s students should plan additional time to complete their program due to undergraduate course and clinical requirements.
