SP ED 6641 - Advanced Assessment and Intervention for Struggling Readers: Higher Steps Practicum

This graduate education course is designed to help educators develop theoretical and practical knowledge of effective, research-based assessment and intervention for struggling readers of all ages who have reached an end-of-second-grade level, but whose reading abilities are below grade level expectations. The course follows a "practicum model," in which participants build a conceptual framework for reading development and effective intervention through a year-long, mentored tutoring experience.
