This 16-unit graduate certificate program, spanning four courses, centers on literacy education and leadership development. Designed for experienced educators including teachers and administrators from elementary through high school levels, the curriculum covers fundamental aspects of literacy teaching. The coursework explores research-based instructional methods for reading and writing, addressing topics such as subject-specific literacies, literacy evaluation, intervention strategies, literature for youth, adolescent literacy development, and classroom communication techniques. Participants will gain comprehensive theoretical, research-based, and practical expertise to create and execute literacy initiatives that foster engaging reading and writing opportunities for K-12 learners.
Tailored for working educators seeking to enhance their literacy instruction knowledge without pursuing a full degree, this program offers flexibility. Completed coursework may later be transferred toward a master's degree or advanced graduate certificate in Literacy or Reading Education if participants decide to further their academic journey.
