The rigor of the course is increased for those taking it at the graduate level.
Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College within the past seven years will not be required to retake the entire version of EED 320/520 or ESE 300/500. However, they will be expected to complete the requirements for the graduate portion of the course they have already taken within the context of a half-credit independent study. This study will be supervised by the reading license program site coordinator. If the graduate course was taken as a part of initial licensure (EED 520 or ESE 500), students do not need to repeat the course.
Reading license candidates who have already received their initial K-8 teaching license and who are graduates of Augsburg College, but not within the past seven years, will be required to take EED 520 or ESE 500 at the graduate level.
Reading license candidates who have already received their initial teaching license and who are not graduates of Augsburg College will be expected to take EED 520 and ESE 500.
