GROVE CITY, Pa. – Grove City College is launching a new Master of Science in Education in Reading Specialist degree program this summer.
The degree is designed to increase certified educators’ skill set and knowledge to support students and help them reach their own professional goals. The curriculum includes courses in leadership, educational policy and law, theory and practice, assessment and intervention, remediation and more with an emphasis on the science of reading.
“This historic milestone builds upon our institution’s rich legacy of teacher preparation, dating all the way back to the founding of the college as Pine Grove Normal Academy,” said Constance Nichols, chair and professor of education. “Our new graduate program reflects both our roots and our vision for the future. We are dedicated to cultivating teacher leaders who bring expertise, innovation and inspiration to their schools and communities.”
Reading specialists provide one-on-one or small group instruction to students who struggle to read; coach teachers on methods, assessment and curriculum changes; assess students’ reading abilities; identify deficiencies; and create intervention plans and strategies. They work in a variety of educational and clinical settings.
Enrollment for the 30-credit online program is now open. To learn more about the program and apply, click HERE.
