M.Ed. - Reading
This program is designed for an experienced educator who holds a classroom teaching license and who wants to serve schools as a teacher of reading at the early childhood, elementary, middle, secondary or post-secondary levels.
Since reading is an important aspect of classroom instruction, the program is designed also for classroom teachers who want to expand their instruction and expertise in the teaching of reading or language arts. The reading courses are planned to develop an understanding of the reading and writing processes, the enhancement of classroom reading instruction, the assessment of reading difficulties followed by instructional intervention, the use of literature in reading and language arts programs, and teacher leadership roles in reading.
One hundred and fifty hours of supervised field work will occur, as part of the practicum, in two courses: Instructional Reading Clinic with Children (an intensive 6-week summer course) and Teacher Leadership Roles in Reading at the School Level. The course offering is designed to meet the January 2003 regulations for initial licensure as a Specialist Teacher of Reading developed by the Massachusetts Department of Education.
