Reading Endorsement
Georgia College (GC) offers a unique professional development opportunity. The program is designed for any P-12 teacher or supplemental reading teacher who is interested in learning how to better meet the needs of the students in his/her classroom. Applicants must pass the John H. Lounsbury Graduate Writing Assessment to be admitted to the Reading Endorsement Program. The program addresses the competencies required by the Professional Standards Commission’s Georgia Reading Endorsement. It emphasizes classroom application and addresses three strands:
- Understanding Readers and the Reading Process
- Linking Literacy Assessment and Instruction
- Instructional Strategies in the content areas across Pre-K-12 educators.
Program of Study
This program requires a limited number of meetings per semester. The remainder of the work is on line.
