Anne Arundel County

Goucher College is working in partnership with Anne Arundel County Schools to sponsor education cohorts!

These cohorts are 15-credits each, and will be offered at a
reduced tuition rate to current Anne Arundel County teachers.   

At-Risk and Diverse Learners with a Literacy Emphasis

Geared toward helping participants better understand and guide a growing population of psychologically and sociologically disrupted students to become more productive and successful students, with focus in the areas of reading and writing.  The courses in this cohort can be applied to either the M.Ed. or Professional Development Certificate.  See the new Writing course (ED 620A) which is designed to support the transition to Common Core Standards in Writing!

Reading Instruction (Reading Teacher and Reading Specialist)

Supports the county efforts to prepare literacy professionals who will provide leadership for the school reading program.  The Reading Instruction cohort can lead to reading teacher endorsement (12 credits required) or reading specialist certification.

Special Education Certification

The courses in this cohort will count towards Goucher College's MSDE-approved Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree with Special Education Certification (either grades 1-8 or 6-adult).
