Early Childhood - Grade 6 with Science of Teaching Reading
 

The Early Childhood through Grade 6 with Science of Teaching Reading and English as a Second Language Supplemental Teacher Certification Program at the University of North Texas is designed for students whose goal is to become a teacher in classrooms from Pre-K through 6th grade. This certification path includes preparation in the Science of Teaching Reading, a new initiative in the State of Texas that prepares teachers to implement instruction in reading, especially with young learners. English as a Second Language courses develop knowledge and skills critical to the success of English Language Learners in today's classrooms.

The fully redesigned degree program associated with this certification features:

  • Opportunities for undergraduates to choose a certification area in English as a Second Language (ESL), Bilingual Education, or Special Education (SPED). 
  • Begin foundational coursework in education earlier during Freshman and Sophomore years as students complete their general core requirements.
