READING ENDORSEMENT

Georgia College & State University (GCSU) offers a unique professional development opportunity. The program is designed for any P-12 teacher or supplemental reading teacher who is interested in learning how to better meet the needs of the students in his/her classroom. The program addresses the competencies required by the Professional Standards Commission's Georgia Reading Endorsement. It emphasizes classroom application and addresses three strands:

• Understanding Readers and the Reading Process
• Linking Literacy Assessment and Instruction
• Instructional Strategies in the content areas across Pre-K-12 educators.

This program requires two meetings on the Milledgeville campus per semester. The remainder of the work is on line.
