Post-Master’s in Applied Literacy
Teachers who already hold master’s degrees desire incremental raises for having a master’s plus additional credits. Most teacher contracts, including the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) contract, reward teachers financially for attaining credits beyond their master’s. Further, professionals who have been teaching for several years often want to improve their practice and become lead teachers or model teachers. The Post-master’s Advanced Certificate in Applied Literacy is designed to offer integrated, theoretically grounded views of teaching and learning literacy that address the needs of students in diverse communities. This program encourages critical reflection on how to apply literacy instruction in any classroom context or grade level, K-12. Five cutting edge, fully online courses are aimed at expanding teachers’ knowledge of teaching literacy, focusing on reading, writing, speaking, and listening across the curriculum.
