Lesley University Professional Learning Opportunities

Graduate Courses at Lesley University

The Center for Reading Recovery and Literacy Collaborative at Lesley University is offering several online professional learning opportunities for teachers and literacy coaches who are interested in growing and transforming their teaching and learning. Eight-week graduate courses can be taken separately or combined to give educators an 18-credit Graduate Certificate (GC) in Developing Systematic Language and Literacy Expertise, K–8. The courses are grounded in the work of Marie Clay, Irene Fountas, and Gay Su Pinnell, as well as other educational leaders, and are centered on the idea that thinking, talking, reading, and writing gives students the opportunity to share and deepen their understanding. All courses are predicated on the concept that teachers use their close observations and assessment of students to inform their instructional planning and decision-making.
