This program prepares teachers to serve as reading specialists in the the public school systems (K-12). Applicants are required to have earned a master's degree, a New Jersey standard instructional certificate, and have two years, full-time classroom teaching experience. The program is designed to enable teachers to plan programs appropriate for children of differing abilities and diverse cultural backgrounds based on research and theory, to foster a vision of literacy learning as an active social process in which students become engaged readers with strategies for independent reading, and the motivation to read for pleasure and for information.
