The University of Arkansas' curriculum and instruction department offers a traditional licensure program. For information on nontraditional or alternative licensing, visit the Arkansas Department of Education at http://www.arkansased.org/educators/licensure/nontraditional.html.
Currently, the University of Arkansas offers CIED 3093 and CIED 4123 as the reading classes required for admission to the Arkansas Department of Education's nontraditional licensure program. These are the reading courses approved for our institution by the Arkansas Department of Education.
You can locate the reading classes each semester by going to the schedule of classes at the university's ISIS Web site. To enroll, you will first have to be admitted as a non-degree seeking undergraduate student. For information on applying, go to http://admissions.uark.edu. Once you have been admitted you can enroll using ISIS at http://isis.uark.edu with your user ID and password.
Without ISIS access, you can find the classes by visiting http://www.uark.edu/registrar/classes/soc.html. Select the term you want. In the drop-down menu under "Campus" select "Off" and add any other criteria you wish to use such as college "EDUC".
CIED 3093 Essentials of Literacy Sec. 901 is offered M/Th 5-8 p.m. It is the first eight weeks.
CIED 4123 Literacy Assessment and Interventions in the Classroom Sec. 901 is offered M/Th 5-8 p.m. in the second eight weeks.
Both courses are taught on the NorthWest Arkansas Community College campus in Bentonville (fall and spring semesters only). These classes are NOT taught online.
