At the UWI Open Campus, we help our graduate students find the work that inspires them. Move forward in your professional development with the Diploma in Literacy Instruction.  

This one-year programme is offered by the UWI Open Campus.

The Diploma in Literacy Instruction enables you to:
 

• address problems of literacy instruction in the Caribbean using linguistic, biological, psychological, sociological    and technological principles

• assess students’ instructional materials and learning contexts using a wide repertoire of assessment    instruments

• implement research-based best practices in literacy instruction

• design effective, standards-based literacy programmes that cater for diverse learners

• design effective literacy instructional materials for both print-based and electronic media

The Diploma in Literacy Instruction is for trained teachers who wish to deepen their understanding of literacy instruction.

It links theory with practice by enabling participants to implement programme content directly in their classroom environments.
 

Successful applicants:

•     MUST hold a Teacher’s Diploma from a recognised Teachers’ College.

•     MUST have at least a lower second class undergraduate degree or its equivalent from an approved university.

All participants must take part in an orientation programme that introduces them to online study and prepares them for the demands of a UWI post-graduate programme.
