The College of Education Department of Special Education (SPED) is offering a new Reading Interventionist program in partnership with the Hawai‘i Department of Education. Applications are now being accepted for the second cohort, which begins Summer 2023. Funding is available for current special education teachers or district resource teachers who will give a 3-year commitment to teach in a special education setting in a Hawaii public or charter school that focuses on remediation of students with disabilities or at-risk for identification for SPED due to reading deficits.

The Reading Interventionist program is an 18-credit program that is completed in one year (Summer-Fall-Spring). Accessible from any island through online delivery, the program is made up of 4 content courses (12 credits) and 3 clinical practicums (6 credits).

This program will be admitting and funding 25 candidates for Summer 2023. Priority deadline for Summer 2023 admissions is Jan 1, 2023. The final deadline to apply will be Feb. 1, 2023.
