Endorsement

Online Reading Teacher Endorsement

Program

The PK-12 Reading Teacher Endorsement is designed to be added to an existing Professional Educator License (PEL) at any level. Reading teachers are generally responsible for working with students who would benefit from additional reading instruction and assessing students to determine their reading needs and strengths. These professionals collaborate with reading specialists and other professionals to improve instruction and to modify the physical and social environments as needed to meet the needs of all readers.

Required Courses

Many Illinois licensed teachers will have completed these courses during their initial licensure program. Substitutions will be made as approved by the IC Education Department. Anyone transferring in the equivalent of any of these courses for fewer than 4 credits may add a practicum independent study in any fall or spring semester to get to a total of 18 credit hours.
