PHSC’s EPI program has developed pathways for teacher candidates based on their subject area certification which designates the required reading courses that must be completed according to Florida Rule 6A-5.066, Section 1012.585(3)(f), F.S. and State Board subsection 6A-4.0051(7), F.A.C. Please contact the EPI Director if you have any questions regarding the EPI reading endorsement competency requirement.
If you already have your reading endorsement or have completed some of the reading competencies at a different institution or with your school district, you may be eligible to receive credit for the reading courses at PHSC. Please contact the EPI Director for more information.
