The Sixth-Year Degree in Literacy provides professional education to master’s degree prepared teachers in the area of Reading & Language Arts. Candidates will study reading and language from a much broader perspective than that of a classroom teacher. Their training will give them the skills to lead staff development, run intervention clinics, chair appropriate departments, manage summer programs, write grants and to provide these services in school settings.
The goal of the program is to prepare candidates to serve as literacy leaders in their schools and districts. Graduates will be knowledgeable in all aspects of curriculum, assessment and instruction and will provide guidance to the school and community in shaping local literacy programs.
