WESTVILLE – The Purdue University North Central Education Department was recently given approval by the Indiana Department of Education Division of Professional Standards to offer the Reading Licensure program.
Current and future PNC undergraduate elementary education teacher candidates are eligible for the Reading Licensure program. To be accepted into this program, a PNC teacher candidate must have a grade-point-average of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, after successful completion of the PNC required literacy courses. Letters of recommendation and a candidate’s statement of intent are also required.
The reading licensure program includes two new courses: Advanced Literacy Instruction, which will be offered for the first time during the first 2006 summer session, and Student Teaching Seminar in Literacy, which will be initially offered in fall, 2006.
PNC candidates graduating in this program will receive a K-6 teaching license in elementary education and reading.
