Graduate Credit for Scholastic RED Professional Development Courses
Effective professional development requires that teachers reflect on their learning and refine their teaching based on that reflection. Teachers enrolled in Scholastic RED courses study and apply the research-based components of effective reading instruction and reading strategies. Over a period of several weeks, teachers implement and refine these strategies as they work towards transforming their online coursework into classroom practice.
Participants applying for graduate credit for RED courses must adhere to the following requirements:
- Scholastic RED participants will be allowed to enroll in and earn graduate credit for a maximum of two Scholastic RED courses.
- Participants must align their studies to correspond with Roosevelt University's semesters: Fall (September-December), Winter/Spring (January-May), and Summer (June-August). Students may enroll after the semester has begun.
- Each RED course must be completed in no fewer than 5 weeks and no more than 15 weeks.
- Participants must register for graduate credit within 10 days of logging into their Scholastic RED course.
