Reading and Language Arts Center

The Literacy Specialist Program includes a set of courses designed to meet state requirements for two advanced certifications related to literacy: the 102-Remedial Reading & Language Arts Teacher and the 097-Reading Consultant. Though specific position titles vary widely by district, teachers who hold the 102 license are certified to be specialists providing and/or supporting expert and intensive reading instruction and intervention. The 097 license is an administrative license for those who have worked for at least one year as a Remedial Reading & Language Arts Teacher. Those who hold the 097 license are certified to design and supervise reading programs at the school or district level.
