a. Rationale
for creation, revision, or deletion:
Students pursuing the M.Ed. in Literacy and
Schooling will be able to count either EDUC 602 (Childhood Literature) or EDUC
603 (Young Adult Literature) toward their program requirements. Currently, students may only count EDUC
602. We believe that offering this
choice will allow students to select the literature most appropriate for the
grade level at which they are working or plan to work as a reading specialist. Both courses are currently offered regularly
in the course offerings in literacy.
The proposed change will enable graduates of the program to meet
certification requirements as a Reading Specialist.
