After talking with teachers, Jenner said an educator who holds a pre-K to grade 6 license but teaches a content area that does not involve literacy instruction won’t be required to earn the early literacy endorsement. More than 30 states now require schools to teach the science of reading, a curriculum based on phonics and phonemic awareness so students learn to identify sounds that make up a word.
“I think there’s a bit of a false narrative out there that schools are failing and teachers are part of the problem and this is a magic bullet to fix it,” said Deb Porter, a Northwest Indiana UniServ director for the Indiana State Teachers Association.
