The Master of Science in Education (MSED) Reading Specialist - Dyslexia Emphasis is designed to appeal specifically to PreK-12 teachers and school administrators and includes:
Practical Application - This is a difference making element of the program, since the Newman’s MSED Reading Specialist - Dyslexia Emphasis degree integrates theoretical learning with practical, hands-on experiences. Educators who take the 10 course / 30 hour program benefit because it provides them with instruction on the science of reading and then allows them to immediately apply these techniques by teaching colleagues the exact procedures they have learned. This hands-on approach ensures that students are equipped to apply what they have learned in real-world settings.
Faculty Expertise - Newman University was originally opened in 1933 to educate women to become teachers and has been forming well-prepared classroom professionals ever since. Faculty members leading the unique reading specialist program are highly qualified and experienced in the field of dyslexia education. Students will likely appreciate this because they receive comprehensive, research-based instruction that prepares them for success in diverse classroom settings.
The program teaching partner - R.E.A.D. Redefined recently earned the Accreditation PLUS distinction from the International Dyslexia Association (IDA). It makes Newman's program the only master’s degree for dyslexia — and the only named organization recognized by IDA — in Kansas. This is great news for current teachers and administrator who experience Newman's program, as this systematic approach to reading instruction has become increasingly important as educators nationwide recognize the need for evidence-based teaching methods.
The IDA Accreditation PLUS designation requires programs to demonstrate comprehensive alignment with the organization’s Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading. These standards emphasize Structured Literacy, an instructional approach backed by reading science research, and include rigorous practicum experiences for teachers in training.
