Overview

This Reading program at Salem State University is designed for an experienced educator who holds an initial classroom teaching license and who wants to serve schools as a teacher of reading at the early childhood, elementary, middle, secondary or post-secondary levels or who wants to remain a classroom teacher with expertise in reading.

Students enrolled in the MEd in Reading can expect:

Collaboration with faculty who are expert reading practitioners as well as fellow classmates who teach at all grade levels.
