Master of Arts in Literacy Leadership/ Reading Specialist

Roosevelt University - Chicago

At the heart of our nationally recognized Literacy Leadership program is a commitment to teaching all learners to read, write, and speak with passion, curiosity, precision, and confidence. The program is in alignment with the Science of Reading and the new Illinois Comprehensive Literacy Plan (ICLP). The Master of Arts in Literacy Leadership is designed for licensed teachers who wish to become reading specialists. Upon completion of the program, candidates will be eligible to add either the reading specialist, or bilingual/ESL endorsement to their Illinois teaching licenses. Summer coursework (the Summer Reading Clinic) is face-to-face on the Schaumburg Campus, focusing on evidenced based best practices while promoting a passion for literacy. The remainder of the program can be completed online, offering flexibility while maintaining a rigorous and comprehensive curriculum.
