Troy University’s undergraduate program in Elementary Education has been recognized by the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) for its rigorous preparation of future teachers in how to teach reading.
Troy’s Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education program earned an “A” grade in NCTQ’s new report, Teacher Prep Review: Strengthening Elementary Reading Instruction, released Tuesday.
“I am so proud of our Department of Teacher Education faculty for setting high standards when teaching the science of reading to our Elementary Education students,” said Dr. Fred Figliano, Interim Dean of the College of Education. “Their hard work allowed us to receive high scores from NCTQ. This recognition highlights the College of Education’s commitment to producing the finest elementary teachers in the southeast.
To earn an “A,” programs needed to meet NCTQ’s targets for coverage of the five core components of scientifically based reading instruction — phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension — and not teach more than three instructional methods that are unsupported by the research on effective reading instruction.
