Overview

Through interactive and engaging online technologies, Reading Education students at the University of South Florida St Petersburg will expand their knowledge of global literacies, explore disciplinary literacy practices, develop critical literacies, and advance their digital and media literacy competencies.

Features

Expanding Knowledge of Global Literacies:

Developing students’ global understanding of literacy as a tool for communication is essential to lifelong learning. We consider multiple perspectives; embrace diversity, equity, and advocacy; and make informed, evidence-based decisions as we engage students in professional learning.

Exploring Disciplinary Literacy Practices:

Disciplinary literacies and instructional practices are used when reading complex texts. We address the development of academic knowledge and the use of academic vocabulary across disciplines through customized literacy strategies.

Developing Critical Literacy Pedagogies:

Developing critical literacy pedagogies requires literate consumers and producers. We adopt critical and questioning approaches to reading and composing texts.

Advancing Media Literacy Competencies:

Expertise in literacy leadership is developed in a spiraled approach. We embed media literacy in each course and students develop competencies by applying various tools, engaging in video production and analysis, participating in synchronous and asynchronous facilitation, and using social networking and educational gaming as a learning tool.

Developing Literacy Coaching Skills:

Professional development of coaching skills includes specific content, demonstrations, assignments, and activities that are relevant to school and out of school settings. Course objectives and instructional strategies support the development of leadership excellence in literacy coaching for public, private, and online school systems as well as for educational initiatives in business and industry.

Offering a Completely Online Instructional Experience:

The Literacy Studies faculty are innovative leaders in online instructional practices. We advance students’ knowledge of literacy within the digital age while using adaptable digital pedagogies and embodied literacy learning in online courses.

General requirements

A bachelor’s degree with a “B” average or better and a previous graduate degree with a “B” average or better. In cases where an applicant has a bachelor’s and a graduate degree at the time of admission, the credentials and GPA of the graduate degree will be the determining factor for admission.
The equivalent bachelors and/or graduate degrees from a foreign institution. Bachelor’s degrees from institutions in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) are considered equivalent based on the Bologna Accord. For applicants with a 3-year Bachelor’s Degree with less than 120 hours, from Non-Bologna Accord Institutions, a transcript evaluation from a NACES member is required to confirm equivalency.
Applicants from countries where English is not the official language, and who have not earned at least a bachelor’s degree in the U.S., must also demonstrate proficiency in the English language.
