CCTC-Approved Reading and Literacy Certificate
On September 30, 2010, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing adopted the revised standards for the Reading and Literacy Added Authorization Program. We plan to take the next few months to focus our attention on developing a series of courses to reflect the new standards.
In the ever-changing world of literacy, reading experts should understand the value of cultivating a culture of literacy in which all activities of a school day, in all content areas, are infused with opportunities for students to practice using language by speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Those who complete this Reading and Literacy Certificate program will be equipped to help classroom teachers, including single subject teachers, by possessing advanced knowledge of the reading and literacy development process.
The new Reading and Literacy Certificate will emphasize
- A culture of literacy that includes reading, writing, speaking, listening and setting
- All domains, not just fluency and comprehension
- Research-based best practices
- The Response to Instruction and Intervention (RtI2) model
- Data use for school improvement
- Emphasis on pre-kindergarten and adolescent literacy
- Leadership, coaching, adult learning theory and teacher collaboration
- Assessment of candidate competence
- Information Technology literacies and K-12 library content standards
We are excited to be at the forefront of this move toward literacy in all aspects of education and are proud to be a consistent provider of professional development in Reading.
