Public Act 118 Reading Courses for Teachers
Effective July 1, 2009, Michigan Public Act 118 of 2006 requires teachers applying for their Professional Education Certificate to have successfully completed a three semester hour course in the diagnosis and remediation of reading disabilities and differentiated instruction.
SVSU offers two online courses which are approved by the Michigan Department of Education that fulfill this requirement:
For elementary-level certified teachers:
TE 613: Differentiated Elementary Literacy Instruction (3 credits)
This course introduces students to a wide array of literacy assessment tools and remedial reading strategies. Students select diagnostic and differentiated teaching strategies appropriate to their teaching situation, and put these into practice with individuals/small groups.
OR
for secondary-level certified teachers:
TEMS 614: Differentiated Middle/Secondary Reading Instruction (3 credits)
This course will focus on the diagnosis and remediation of reading disabilities and differentiated instruction. The course will include the following elements: interest, inventories, English language learning screening, visual and auditory discrimination tools, language, expression and processing screening, phonemics, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, spelling and writing assessment tools, and instructional strategies. Additionally, students will participate in a field experience.
TE 615: Reading Assessment and Instruction I (3 credits)
This course is the first half of a year-long practicum in the assessment and instruction of students expressing difficulty with reading. The principles and procedures of informal diagnostic assessment and instruction are applied through work with K-12 students in a clinical setting. TE 615 and TE 617 are the capstone courses for the reading endorsement and must be taken within the last 9 credits of the program. This course satisfies the requirement for candidates pursuing the M.A.T./K-12 Literacy Specialist degree program.
Telephone inquiries can be directed to the College of Education Admissions and Certification Office at 1 (800) 968-2540 or direct at (989) 964-4057, option 1.
