Course description:

This program is based on the Illinois Content Standards for a Reading Specialist and leads to a Type 10 K-12 certificate. The reading specialist endorsement is valid not only for teaching reading to students but also for providing technical assistance and/or professional development to other teachers. The program offers students a focus on reading as a process and a strong research/inquiry base as technology is integrated throughout the curriculum. Completion of a thesis, a practicum, and a professional portfolio is required.
