* “Students in Program” reflects the number of students enrolled in a program. The number of students currently taking classes
would be less than the number enrolled as post-baccalaureate students move through the programs at a varying rate.
** PRAXIS II scores are not disaggregated by ETS for post-baccalaureate reporting.
Reading Teacher/Reading Specialist
The Reading Teacher/Reading Specialist licenses are supplemental licenses requiring institutional endorsement in order to apply for a
DPI license. Reading Teacher students in these programs must have a teaching license in another area and Reading Specialist students
must have a Reading Teacher license in order to be accepted into the program. In addition to those who are seeking the Wisconsin
reading teacher certification, the reading courses offered also serve the needs of community and technical college instructors, K-12
teachers living outside of Wisconsin, and others in the field seeking knowledge in the area of literacy education.
Individual courses may be taken to meet professional development goals or to renew a teaching license or to transfer credit to another
university.
