Graduate Credit for Scholastic RED Professional Development Courses

Effective professional development requires that teachers reflect on their learning and refine their teaching based on that reflection. Teachers enrolled in Scholastic RED courses study and apply the research-based components of effective reading instruction and reading strategies. Over a period of several weeks, teachers implement and refine these strategies as they work towards transforming their online coursework into classroom practice.

Participants applying for graduate credit for RED courses must adhere to the following requirements:

  • Scholastic RED participants will be allowed to enroll in and earn graduate credit for only two Scholastic RED courses per semester/quarter (corresponding to university Fall (September-December), Winter/Spring (January-May), and Summer (June-August) semesters/quarters).
  • Participants must register for graduate credit within 10-days of logging-in to their Scholastic RED course.
  • RED course must be completed in not less than 7-weeks and no more than 15-weeks.
  • PLEASE NOTE:  Graduate credit requirements and policies may vary by university. Check with the university where you are applying for graduate credit to ensure that you meet its requirements.

Any questions or concerns about your registration, please feel free to contact Nancy Sondy at nsondy@roosevelt.edu.

Thank you for choosing Roosevelt University!
