The reading education program provides a series of specially designed courses and field experiences leading to a reading endorsement. This program is designed for both preservice students and in-service teachers. In-service teachers applying for reading endorsement need to be assigned a reading advisor prior to admission into the program. EDRE 406, 407, and 485 must be taken at Shawnee State in order for the Department of Teacher Education to recommend a student to ODE for reading endorsement.
