Program Admission Requirements
Field Work (35 field hours per course)
Candidates are expected to participate in supervised tutoring of children during three of the courses. They will work with a student from three different age groups: Early Childhood, Middle Childhood, and Adolescent to Young Adult. Candidates may work with a child from their classroom or from a different classroom within the school or district in which they are teaching. If the candidate is not currently teaching, they will need to be able to find a child to work with for each of the three courses requiring tutoring.
Transferring Phonics Credits
If the applicant has successfully completed a phonics course prior to enrolling in the endorsement program, they will not need to take another one, and will need to complete only the four remaining courses in the program. All courses are transferable, within five years, to the Online Master's of Reading Education program at Ohio University.
