This online training will provide teachers and administrators with knowledge and skills to identify the needs of students with differing profiles and use this knowledge for instructional decision making to meet the needs of all students. Participants will gain an understanding of how to prescribe, differentiate instruction, and utilize appropriate strategies and materials from scientifically-based reading research in order to address prevention, identification, and remediation. This 60-hour online training meets the requirements for COMPETENCY 4: Foundations and Application of Differentiated Instruction, of the Reading Endorsement Add-on Certification Program.

Participants must successfully complete 2 of the first 3 competencies to register for this course.

This is a self-paced, facilitated course. The course is completely online and requires no face-to-face meetings or specific dates/times required to be online. This course (Summer 2020 Cohort) begins May 4, 2020 and will end on November 30, 2020. Registration will open on May 1, 2020 and we will begin enrolling participants on May 4, 2020.

The average time to complete a 60 hour course is 10-12 weeks but the course is self-paced so you can choose to finish quicker than the 10-12 weeks or can choose to take a little longer if needed as long as the coursework is finished by the course ending date.

Participants are responsible for following their district’s requirements to obtain inservice credit and endorsement. If you are unsure if your district will accept courses offered through NEFEC, you will need to check with your district Staffing Development office.

FLDOE Note Regarding Endorsements: Per section 1012.575, F.S., only school districts have statutory authority to have state approved add-on endorsement programs whereby teachers can complete the endorsement requirements via inservice points. All other (including non-public) school teachers can add an endorsement to their certificate, but only through the college credit route. Private school teachers may take the "endorsement" courses offered for inservice points, but they won't be able to use them to add the endorsement to their certificate.
