Designed specifically for individuals seeking secondary certification, this course builds upon the foundational theories and knowledge of reading from the prerequisite course Methods of Teaching Reading in the Content Area, Part I.

Topics covered in this course will include using assessment to know the learner, putting metacognitive theory into practice, and differentiating instruction for all students. Participants will leave the course with multiple hands-on strategies they can immediately use to make content reading accessible and successful for their students. This course meets the Maryland State Department of Education Reading requirement for an initial certificate in Secondary Education and Generic Special Education Secondary/Adult.
