Master of Education / Literacy Concentration

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.

Saint Michael's M.Ed. students pursuing the Literacy Concentration may choose to earn the Specialized Literacy Professional Endorsement. The curriculum is outlined below for those pursuing the M.Ed. Literacy Concentration alone, and for those pursuing the M.Ed. Literacy Concentration with the Specialized Literacy Professional Endorsement.
