Reading Endorsement Sequence and Scheduling

 

Evergreen’s Master in Teaching Program is happy to announce that Washington's Professional Educator Standards Board has approved a reading endorsement program at The Evergreen State College. The five courses in the sequence will be offered over two summer quarters in the summers of 2011 and 2012 and every two summers thereafter.

 Foundations of Literacy and Research in Literacy will be offered in the first summer. In the second summer Instructional Methods and Assessment in Reading  will be offered. Children’s Literature and Adolescent Literature are offered every other summer; participants will need to choose one or the other to complete the sequence.  Click here for the course credit outline.

Summer 2011 Scheduling.  The Foundations of Literacy course schedule for Summer 2011 is 8:30a-5p Thu Jun. 23, 30, Jul. 7, 14, 21 - and Research in Literacy course schedule is 8:30a-5p Tue Jun. 21, 28, Jul. 5, 12, 19, in the first session of summer school. If you are interested in the Children's literature course, it will be listed as full session, but meet Jul. 26, Aug. 2, 9, 16 - and the rest will be done by submitting work on-line.

At the conclusion of the sequence, teachers and candidates in teacher preparation programs must take and pass the Reading WEST E, a state-required standardized test, and apply to have the endorsement added to their teaching certificates.

 

The classes are also open to paraprofessionals, people interested in becoming teachers, and individuals interested in the development and teaching of reading.
