We are currently accepting inquiries for our K-6 Elementary MNGOT Reading Corps program. This pathway is designed for non-licensed Reading Corps members with bachelor’s degrees (see Reading Corps website for eligibility). About the program:
MNGOT is also designed for non-licensed district staff with bachelor’s degrees, including paraprofessionals, educational assistants, substitute/reserve teachers, and teachers on a district waiver. We are accepting inquiries for a Fall 2022 cohort in the following licensure areas:
Year One: Work full-time at your school and complete 18 credits of coursework and 100 hours of field experience. Field experience can often be completed at the school site where you are employed.
Year Two: Depending on the cohort and year, there are two options for student teaching while completing the remaining 18 credits of coursework. All student teaching is supervised by the University.
We are able to offer a reduced rate of $600 per credit. The 36-credit program will cost a total of $21,600; this rate will save participants nearly $3000. In addition, working is allowable during at least the first year of the program, depending on individual student teaching scenarios and district employment opportunities.
MNGOT Reading Corps Application Deadline: May 5, 2021
To begin the application process, fill out the MNGOT inquiry form by April 23, 2021. The MNGOT advisor, Jade Beauclair, will then follow up with you regarding an unofficial transcript review.
Following the review for prerequisite courses, we will send a document with complete application instructions. The application will require an essay, resume with relevant experience, and two professional recommendations.
