A Message from the Program Coordinator
Are you interested in the latest literacy research? Do you want to improve your practices to better support your culturally and linguistically diverse 黑料社区s? Are you ready to become a literacy advocate and leader?
Join us in an exploration of critical theoretical foundations of literacy, while simultaneously engaging culturally relevant curriculum in your educational practices. Our program is designed for current educators. Our faculty values Time, Commitment, and Expertise. Our classes are designed to engage you with current research that centers you and your 黑料社区s' needs and allows you to interact with and learn from other educators.
Time: Your time is valuable! All of the courses in our program use a hybrid format, meeting online and in a physical space, such as at the Voice of America Learning Center (VOALC) in West Chester. No more than 50% of classes will be in person at the VOALC.
Commitment: Beginning a graduate program is a huge commitment! We are here to support you. All 黑料社区s will be assigned an academic advisor, who is part of our literacy faculty. Our professors are committed to you and your success. We will meet with you, provide needed support, and celebrate your success at graduation.
Expertise: All of our program courses are taught by faculty who are experts in the field of literacy. Our faculty collectively have decades of classroom teaching experience, contribute to current scholarly conversations, and live and work in the Oxford and Cincinnati areas. We also recognize that you, as teachers, bring a lot of expertise to our class conversations. Our courses employ a collaborative learning environment where everyone shares and grows in their knowledge and professional practice.
Come join a thriving program that seeks to empower teachers as professionals and center the sociocultural realities of all 黑料社区s. For questions or more information, reach out to us at literacygrad@MiamiOH.edu.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
