Literacy support for educator preparation programs
Sterling Literacy Consulting works with colleges, universities and educator preparation programs to connect reading research with coursework and field experiences. Support includes literacy program audits and professional learning for the faculty preparing future teachers.
Literacy teacher preparation program audits
Sterling Literacy reviews literacy coursework and field experiences for alignment with the Science of Reading, structured literacy, multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), and culturally and linguistically responsive practice.
Professional learning for educator preparation faculty
The Science of Literacy for Educator Preparation Instructors helps faculty deepen their understanding of reading research and evidence-based literacy instruction. The work connects that understanding with coursework, instructional practices and field experiences for future teachers.
Connect preparation with classroom practice
Coursework and field experiences are both part of preparing teachers for literacy instruction. Sterling Literacy helps faculty consider how reading research is represented in what future teachers learn and practice.
