The Master of Education in Reading Education equips teachers to enhance their skills as literacy educators.
This program is perfect for elementary educators passionate about children's books and seeking innovative methods to integrate writing instruction across subjects.
Instead of a final exam, you'll compile a professional portfolio showcasing your growth, carefully curating and analyzing work samples throughout your studies. In your last term, you'll share this portfolio with professors and peers.
Aligned with Georgia's teaching certifications, the MEd fosters collaborative learning about literacy challenges affecting students from preschool through high school, both in academic settings and daily life. We're excited to embark on this educational journey with you.
