Rose Institute for Learning and Literacy

The Rose Institute for Learning and Literacy prepares practicing teachers to use a phonics-based multisensory approach to literacy and learning, based on the work of Samuel T. Orton. Students take two 3-credit methodology courses and one 7-credit year-long practicum, with twice-weekly mentoring by college faculty, to practice this methodology in their classrooms. Completion of the coursework provides students with an advanced certificate.

Coursework from the Rose Institute can be applied towards Master’s degree in Literacy.

This program in itself does not lead to NYS teacher certification.
