New Reading Requirement for Teachers Effective July
1, 2009
Beginning July 1, 2009, in order to advance from the
Provisional teaching certificate to the Professional
Education teaching certificate, a teacher must provide
evidence of the completion of an additional 3 semester
credit course in reading focused on the diagnosis and
remediation of reading difficulties which includes a
field experience. This reading course is in addition to
any reading courses required for initial certification.
The course may be taken at the undergraduate or graduate
level but must be completed before or during the first 6
years of classroom teaching to be eligible to advance in
certification.
The Michigan Department of Education has posted a list
of reading courses at various state colleges and
universities that may be taken to satisfy the
requirement. The list is available at the following web
site:
www.michigan.gov/teachercert under the heading
Specialty Programs. Questions about the requirement may
be addressed to Dr. Bonnie Rockafellow at
rockafellowb@michigan.gov.
Teachers who meet the requirements to advance to the
Professional Education teaching certificate before July
1, 2009 are advised to give serious consideration to
doing so prior to the expiration date on the certificate
to avoid this requirement. To advance the teacher must
provide evidence that an additional 18 semester credits
have been earned in a planned program since the issuance
of the Provisional teaching certificate, a master’s
degree or higher earned at any time satisfies this
requirement, and have at least 3 years of successful
teaching in the validity of the teaching certificate.
Teachers having completed a planned program through a
Michigan university or college should contact the
Certification Office of the institution and request to
be recommended for the Professional Education
certificate to the MDE. Individuals who completed a
planned program through an institution outside of
Michigan must apply directly to the MDE for a
Professional Education certificate. |
