reading/language arts. At Lake Erie College, each concentration
is a minimum of 40 semester hours of coursework. Those teacher
candidates successfully completing the program will receive a
license to teach children in grades 7-12 or ages 12-18. All AYA
teacher candidates must complete one course in Reading in the
Content Area.
*Also required is EDP 416 Reading in the Content Area (3 SH) as the reading core. (See Education Handbook for more specific concentration information.)
