Meeting the Reading Requirement
Students admitted after January 1, 2009, must meet the TEA requirement for reading instruction (TAC Chapter 228). To meet this requirement, students take two online courses on reading instruction. Students may select from the following ed2go courses offered by TLU. Complete information is at Courses for Teaching Professionals.
1. Guided Reading and Writing: Strategies for Maximum Student Achievement
2. Guided Reading: Strategies for the Differentiated Classroom
3. Response to Intervention: Reading Strategies That Work
4. Set, Ready, Read
- These are continuing professional education courses – not for academic credit on your TLU transcript.
- PBTCP students will pay a reduced tuition for these courses - $75 instead of $105. These payments should be made at the Center for Professional Development after you have enrolled online to take the course.
- You may take these courses at any time during your program.
- All courses run for six weeks, with a two-week grace period at the end. Two lessons are released each week for the six-week duration of the course. You do not have to be present when the lesson is released, but you must complete each lesson within two weeks of its release.
- Students admitted before January 1, 2009, will also benefit from taking these courses.
- EC-4 and EC-6 students who take RED 332. Foundations of Literacy or the equivalent need to take only one of the above courses.
