Learning Outcomes
To earn full national recognition, the learning outcomes of a program must align with the ILA Standards for Reading Professionals. The Literacy and Language master's degree program received full national recognition from the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) and the International Literacy Association (ILA) in August 2018 and aligns with the ILA Standards for Reading Professionals. To meet the expectations of CAEP and ILA, the Post-Master's Certificate for the Reading Specialist License program aligns with the same ILA Standards:
-
Standard 1. Foundational Knowledge. Candidates understand the theoretical and evidence-based foundations of reading and writing processes and instruction.
