Literacy Concentration (C.A.G.S.)

Literacy Concentration Information

The goal of the Literacy Concentration is to help educators better meet the reading/language arts needs of today’s diverse students while simultaneously becoming leaders in their schools, districts, and beyond. Courses in literacy development, instruction, assessment, and intervention, as well as a job-embedded practicum and leadership experiences, provide the foundation that allows teachers to grow into roles such as Reading/English Language Arts Specialists, literacy coaches, Specialized Literacy Professionals, and/or Reading Interventionists.

C.A.G.S. Coursework

This thirty-credit post-master’s certificate is designed in conjunction with the advisor. Students who already have a master’s degree may choose to earn the Reading/English Language Arts Specialist Endorsement (Pre-K-12) as part of their C.A.G.S. in Literacy. Those who do not currently hold a master’s degree may pursue the Reading/English Language Arts Specialist Endorsement through the M.Ed. Literacy concentration.
