To ensure an individual seeking state licensure at the elementary, early childhood, special education (K-5) level can effectively teach an evidence-based model of literacy instruction, it is important these individuals be able to demonstrate sufficient knowledge in the science of reading prior to receiving licensure. |\n| KEY COMPONENTS |\n| Establish a State Reading Panel |\n| The State Reading Panel will develop and submit for State Board approval foundational literacy skills standards required by all educator preparation and alternative certification providers for the instruction of candidates seeking licensure at the kindergarten through grade five level in elementary education, early childhood, and special education, as well as candidates seeking an instructional leader license. The standards shall be aligned to the science of reading and shall not include the three-cueing systems model of teaching word reading.\u003Cbr>Administer a Science of Reading Licensure Exam |\n| The licensure exam should assess teachers’ knowledge of the science of reading.\u003Cbr>• Candidates seeking initial licensure at the elementary education, early childhood, and special education (K-5) level must pass such assessment at or above the cut score.\u003Cbr>• Candidates seeking licensure renewal at the elementary education, early childhood, and special education (K-5) level must obtain a literacy endorsement that demonstrates sufficient knowledge in the practice and instruction of reading or successfully complete coursework where at least one (1) credit hour is in the knowledge, practice, and instruction of the science of reading.\u003Cbr>Align Educator Preparation Programs with the Science of Reading |\n\nEducator preparation programs providing instruction to candidates seeking licensure at the elementary, early childhood, and special education level as well as candidates seeking an instructional leader license must:  \n• provide training on reading instruction focused on the foundational literacy skills standards developed bythe State Reading Panel and approved by the State Board; and  \n• conduct curriculum audits specific to early literacy courses to ensure alignment to the state standards, including coursework to address linguistically and culturally diverse learners;  \n• report to the Department by October 1 of each calendar year certain data about the effectiveness of programming and faculty credentials.  \nAny new or existing educator preparation program provider seeking renewal must require faculty of such programs to participate in an evidence-based science of reading professional development course every five years or attend one (1) science of reading professional development training annually that is offered or approved by the Department.  \n[www.ExcelinEd.org](www.ExcelinEd.org)  \nAligning Educator Preparation Programs to the Science of Reading ExcelinEd Policy Brief-2021  \nAnnually Report the Educator Preparation Program’s Status  \nAn annual report compiled by the State Board that includes important information about the status and effectiveness of educator preparation programs and their faculty, including the number of faculty members at each program who successfully complete coursework in the science of reading, and the number and percentage of teacher candidates who successfully pass licensure exams on their first attempt and during a retake round.","cbCais9iXYv09ebV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais9iXYv09ebV","pdf",215003,"English","# Overview\n# Key Components\n## Establish a State Reading Panel\n## Administer a Science of Reading Licensure Exam\n## Align Educator Preparation Programs with the Science of Reading\n# Annually Report the Educator Preparation Program’s Status\n# For More Information","[{\"question\":\"What is the goal of aligning educator preparation programs to the science of reading?\",\"answer\":\"To ensure educators and instructional leader candidates receive preparation that provides a strong foundation in evidence-based literacy instruction and includes specific evidence of early literacy preparation quality.\"},{\"question\":\"What role does the State Reading Panel play?\",\"answer\":\"It develops and submits foundational literacy skills standards for all educator preparation and alternative certification providers, aligned to the science of reading, for kindergarten through grade five levels.\"},{\"question\":\"How are candidates assessed for licensure under this policy approach?\",\"answer\":\"A science of reading licensure exam measures teachers’ knowledge.
