Literacy, M.Ed., Coaching Strand

Program Outcomes

  • All Read to Succeed coursework completed!
  • An M.Ed. degree in Literacy/ Coaching with 2 certificates in Literacy Teacher and Literacy Coach.
  • Acquisition of in-depth knowledge about literacy teaching and instruction rather than a general program of education that will transform your literacy teaching and your students’ literacy learning.
  • Your development as a literacy leader at the school or district level who can support colleagues in literacy teaching, particularly in relation to learners who are at-risk.


Program Information

Degree Requirements

36 semester hours (for any strand). Additional requirements include requisite years of teaching experience, PRAXIS exam, and other requirements as indicated by the SC Department of Education.

Course Format

Our courses are offered online. A district (or districts) may contract with us to provide blended or face-to-face courses.

Length of Program

Literacy Coach Strand students take one course per semester and two courses during the summer. Degree completion time is approximately 3 years. Application deadline is April 1, 2019 for admission and classes begin in June 2019.

Cost

Tuition and fee rates can be found here. 

Investment

Investing in a graduate degree has professional and economic benefits. The tuition cost of the M.Ed. is substantially offset by future earnings. For example, in most districts, a teacher with one year of teaching experience will receive a pay increase of $5,000 or more upon completion of the M.Ed., so total cost of the M.Ed. degree is recovered in 2-3 years or less.

Admission
  • Apply online here. (Program Name: MED-LITR-E)
  • Official transcripts required if accepted
  • Two letters of recommendation
  • Copy of teaching certificate
  • Statement of goals and teaching philosophy
  • A minimum 3.0 GPA in the most recent degree (undergraduate or graduate) or competitive GRE or Miller’s Analogy Test scores.
