Reading, Langauage and Literacy

The importance of early literacy experiences for at-risk students, emphasis on reading and writing instruction in middle schools, and the demand for more literature in the language arts curriculum have given rise to this M.A.Ed. program in Curriculum and Instruction. The program has been designed for elementary, middle, or secondary school teachers. Chapter I teachers not currently holding reading specialist endorsement can earn this endorsement through this graduate program. Students who already hold a graduate degree and wish to add the reading specialist endorsement must still be admitted into the graduate program. This is considered an add-on endorsement, so you must be a certified teacher with three years classroom teaching experience in order to receive this licensure from the state of Virginia.
