SP ED 6644 - Intro to Higher Steps Intervention: Advanced Instruction for Intermediate Grade Struggling Readers

Meets with EDU 5644 and 6644. 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 early-third 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 mentored clinical experience.
