This 36 credit hour degree is designed for K-6 classroom teachers, as well as Special Education and Reading teachers. Any educator who is interested in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and methodology to diagnose and facilitate instructional strategies for students would benefit from this program. This may include classroom teachers, resource teachers, reading specialists or school administrators. This program does not complete requirements for endorsements in Reading or Special Education.
