Undergraduate Minor in Reading Education

For Elementary and Special Education Majors (Non-Licensure) Only

The Reading Education minor is available to elementary and special education students who have made a career change decision and do not plan to pursue licensure. Though the minor does not lead you to a teacher licensure, it still includes a core class load that increases your ability as a leader to instruct students. The Reading Education minor is especially recommended if you plan to work in settings where you’ll interact with, counsel, lead, coach, or instruct middle or high school-aged students. The Education major reading core, which largely makes up the Reading Education minor, has been recognized in Colorado for excellence in preparing graduates to train young students.

As the faculty educates future teachers, much stress is placed upon how to be a Christian in the public school system in America, and the concept of servant leadership.

Dr. Debora Scheffel

Dean and Professor of Education

An individual may have a formal education but lack deeper understanding of the meaning of knowledge, and thus neglect the larger metaphysical questions that render knowledge relevant to life's ultimate questions. Dr. Debora Scheffel seeks to continue to develop a philosophy of education consistent with faith that informs decision making in academia, education policy work, and education practice.

Tamara Bultje

Associate Professor of Education, Teacher Practicum Coordinator

Biblical integration and building Christian worldview are two opportunities afforded educators and students at Colorado Christian University. Preparing young people with a strong academic foundation and the ability to lovingly reach out to a hurting world is a daunting and profound privilege.
