The International Dyslexia Association announced May 2 that nine university programs in the U.S., including three at UCCS met standards outlined in the IDA\u2019s Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading.<\/p>\n
The universities recognized are: College of Mount Saint Joseph, Colorado College, Fairleigh Dickinson, MGH Institute of Health Professions, Saint Joseph\u2019s, Simmons College, Southeastern University; Southern Methodist University, and UCCS. Specific UCCS programs include the Bachelor of Arts in Special Education, Master of Arts in Special Education and Dyslexia Specialist Certificate.<\/p>\n
From January through March 2012, IDA conducted independent and objective reviews of university-based teacher preparation programs in reading and evaluated their alignment with the IDA Standards. Three independent reviewers were assigned to each university. The review entailed a thorough look at course syllabi and other course materials and requirements, along with a site visit to the school.<\/p>\n
The International Dyslexia Association is a non-profit, scientific, and educational organization dedicated to the study and treatment of dyslexia as well as related language-based learning differences. The IDA operates 45 branches throughout the United States and Canada and has global partners in eighteen countries, including Australia, Brazil, England, Germany, Ireland and Japan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
