Graduate Literacy Internship in Evidence-Based Reading Intervention

An internship that emphasizes the application of knowledge gained in the post-baccalaureate reading endorsement program. Candidates consider the effects of school, family, and community contexts on the performance of struggling readers. They select and administer assessments and analyze student performance data to make evidence-based decisions about instructional strategies, and technologies that create meaningful learning experiences for one or more students who are struggling with literacy learning. They document the ongoing effects of the intervention and present a final report of student response to the intervention. This course includes teaching/intervention hours with clinical supervision.
