1 Masters in Literacy Education New York University Steinhardt School of Education, Mary Brabeck, Dean Robert Cohen, Chair, Department of Teaching and Learning Jane Ashdown, Vice Chair, Department of Teaching and Learning Cynthia McCallister, Director, Program in Literacy Education Faculty: Jane Ashdown Patricia Cooper Maureen Barbieri Sarah Beck Cynthia McCallister Oliver Patterson Trika Smith-Burke Updated Spring, 2005

2 Masters Program in Literacy Education The Department of Teaching and Learning offers Master s degrees in Literacy Education, Birth through Grade 6 and Grades 5 through 12. These programs provide certified classroom teachers with the opportunity to earn the New York State Literacy Specialist Certificate. These curricula are designed to prepare classroom teachers at the early childhood, elementary levels, or content area teachers at middle school and high school levels to address the needs of all of their students by integrating strategic teaching of reading and writing throughout their specialty. The program also focuses on the role of the literacy specialist in the whole-school context and assists each student in developing the competence and the confidence needed to assume such a role. Full-time students can finish in an accelerated 12-month format, including summer. Part-time students can finish in two years, including two summers. Program Philosophy The literacy master s programs represent literacy as the means by which people think, learn, and communicate through reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The curricula are designed to help teachers understand the principles of language and literacy learning and the development of diverse learners, especially those who are experiencing difficulty with literacy learning, across developmental levels, academic disciplines, and social and cultural contexts. These programs support the development of teaching expertise in the role of literacy specialist and in a particular area of specialization within the curriculum selected by students. For example, the integration of strategic teaching of reading and writing within different content areas (e.g., social studies, science, or math) or clinical work in literacy could be areas of specialization. The course of study builds on the participants professional experiences, involves the application of theory to practice and vice versa, and stresses the use of data for decision making. Similarly the curriculum for children in schools builds on the language and literacy learning which students bring to school and ongoing observation of their learning in order to closely match instruction to student level in order to assist them in achieving system standards. Finally, two practicums at two different age levels within each program and a course which focuses on the responsibilities of literacy specialists allow the candidates to experience leadership and teaching responsibilities of role of the literacy specialist. Program Design One master s degree program is for candidates interested in students from birth through grade 6 (LITB); the other, from grade 5 through grade 12 (LITC). To apply for these programs a candidate must hold either initial or permanent certification in teaching at the appropriate level (see section on admission requirements for details). On completion of a program the candidate is eligible for New York State certification as a literacy specialist for the appropriate grade levels (see above). Each program also serves to deepen classroom teachers understanding of literacy processes, issues and pedagogy. Both programs can be taken on a full- or part-time basis. Each program requires two electives, and the Steinhardt School of Education provides a wealth of choices for this 2

3 requirement including courses from areas such as bilingual education, special education, drama education, educational communication and technology, media ecology, English education, educational administration, or educational psychology. Literacy Education, birth-grade 6 (LITB) (34 credits) The Program is offered in two phases. Phase I includes Literacy Education I Early Childhood/Childhood: Reading Practices E , Literacy Education II Early Childhood/Childhood: Writing Practices E , Language and Literacy Development E , Reading and Writing: Foundations E , and Texts, Tools, and Culture E Phase II includes Literacy Assessment E , Literacy of the Special Learner E , and the Supervised Practicum in Early Childhood and Childhood E (two placements, at two different instructional levels for 2 credits each) and the Organization and Supervision of Literacy Programs E The program requires two electives that can be taken at any point in the program. Literacy Education, grades 5-12 (LITC) (34 credits) The courses are offered in two phases.

Dual Special Education/Literacy Specialist Certification For information on two new dual programs that prepare students for certification as literacy specialists in special education either at the early childhood (birth-grade 2) or childhood (grades 1-6) levels, please see page 207 in this bulletin under Special Education. Financial Opportunities study. Loans and scholarships may be available for qualified applicants to master s Advisement and Program Planning Once admitted you will consult with the program advisor, Amy Lui, at , to plan a program of study. At that time you will be assigned to a faculty advisor who will be able to offer further guidance in terms of program and career-related decisions. 3

4 Admissions Requirements Candidates must hold an appropriate teaching certificate as a prerequisite for admission to these M.A. programs. For admission to the literacy program, birth-grade 6 (LITB), candidates must hold at least a provisional certificate in early childhood/elementary education or an initial certificate in either early childhood education or childhood education. For admission to the literacy program, grades 5-12 (LITC), candidates must hold at least a provisional certificate in middle or secondary education or an initial certificate in either middle childhood or adolescence education. Candidates holding an out-of-state base certificate must apply for a comparable New York State certificate with the New York State Education Department (see prior to program completion in order to be recommended for the literacy certification in New York State. Contact the NYU School of Education Office of Graduate Admissions at to learn more about admissions to the program. Career Opportunities The graduates of this program will qualify for literacy specialist positions. Those graduating from the LITB program work in early childhood, preschool, private, and public schools through grade 6 either as teachers with special expertise teaching in reading and writing or as literacy specialists. Those graduating from the LITC program work at the middle school or high school levels as teachers in particular content area with special expertise in integrating the teaching of language and literacy into their curricula or as literacy specialists. Graduates will also be qualified to work in after-school programs, clinical settings in hospitals and community centers, new educational companies that focus on literacy learning, and in private tutoring practice. In addition, this degree provides excellent background for positions in the educational publishing industry that concentrates on the development of literacy materials and literacy assessment.
