Reading Specialist Practicum II

The Reading Specialist Practicum II program is designed to allow students to engage in practical, on-the-job, supervised and evaluated field experiences that provide the foundation for success in skills associated with reading planning, instructional leadership, professional development, and specialized content training. Students will develop conceptual and professional skills through their experiences at a field site as they integrate theory and practice through a field-based training approach with a practicing reading specialist leader. Specific activities and assignments will be determined collaboratively by the student, the school supervisor, and the University supervisor to ensure that the intern obtains practical experience consistent with the expectations of a reading specialist. This course contains a field-based service-learning component.
