Master of Arts degree in Reading and Literacy K-12
The Master of Arts in Reading and Literacy K-12 has been developed based on teacher preparation standards written by the International Reading Association (IRA) and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) and adopted by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). In addition, the course work contains components to meet the standards approved by the Michigan State Board of Education for the Reading Specialist (BR) Endorsement (July 20, 2000). Any certified teacher meeting the requirements for entry into graduate studies at Central Michigan University is eligible to enter the program.
