BROWARD READING ENDORSEMENT ADD-ON PROGRAM What’s New and What You Need to Know! Terri Coyle Secondary Reading Curriculum Specialist NOVEMBER 2011

Who Needs the Endorsement? Teachers with any certification who teach reading in grades 7-12, but are not certified in reading, must have reading endorsement. All Reading Coaches and Reading Resource Specialists are required to be reading endorsed. Teachers in grades K - 6 are not required to be reading endorsed. 6 th grade classes must be pure 6 th only!

What is the difference between Reading Endorsement and Reading Certification? The Reading Endorsement is a “rider” to other certifications. It is made up of 15 university course credit hours (or 300 inservice points). Teachers with 30 university course credit hours or a Master’s Degree in Reading must take the reading certification test to earn the K-12 reading certification.

What is the Reading Endorsement Comprised of and How Can It Be Earned? The reading endorsement is comprised of 6 competencies. The reading endorsement can be pursued through either the following tracks:
