Program Overview

The program includes the most current theory and practice, and the program leads to New York state initial certification as literacy specialists birth to grade 12 and as ESOL teachers birth to grade 12.
Candidates must hold a teacher certification in another area prior to admission that includes at least six credit hours of literacy coursework in literacy skills and methods, and three credit hours of coursework in teaching students with disabilities.
