The RODP Master's Degree program is aligned with National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) core propositions.  In addition, it includes coursework focused on pedagogical content proficiencies related to teaching Reading-Language Arts.  This design will allow teachers to receive advanced professional preparation consistent with NBPTS principles and supportive of achieving NBPTS certification in Early and Middle Childhood/Literacy:  Reading-Language Arts. Since the core is aligned with NBPTS generalist certificates, this program will also support teachers who seek NBPTS certification in any of the generalist areas as well. 

Please note:  All of the TBR universities will offer the same degree program. However, students must adhere to the admission requirements, registration procedures, fees, conceptual framework, and academic policies of the university selected as their home campus.
