Literacy Specialist Graduate Certificate
The Literacy Specialist graduate certificate is intended for those seeking to develop a knowledge and skill base that undergirds effective, equity focused literacy instruction of K-12 students from a range of backgrounds. Coursework in the Literacy Specialist graduate certificate is aligned with standards of both the International Literacy Association and the International Dyslexia Association. The Literacy Specialist graduate certificate is appropriate for all K-12 teachers, school administrators and supervisors, non-endorsed professionals whose work interfaces significantly with K-12 education (e.g., museum, public-service agency), and those interested in home schooling. Coursework in this certificate is designed to lead to an additional endorsement as a Literacy Specialist for teachers licensed in the state of Tennessee.
