ESL/Bilingual Endorsement Program
Succeeding with Linguistically and Culturally Diverse StudentsIn today's classrooms, you are increasingly expected to work with linguistically and culturally diverse students. The ESL/Bilingual Endorsement Program consists of a comprehensive set of courses that prepares teachers to meet this challenge. Help every child in your classroom succeed by:
- Gaining a greater understanding of how diversity affects the teaching and learning process.
- Identifying and appreciating cultural and linguistic factors affecting student adjustment, development, and learning.
- Developing strategies for assessment, curriculum development, and instruction to help all students learn.
- Understanding other cultures' orientations to education and school, and how to foster better relationships with students, their families, and their communities.
Recommendation for the Endorsement, to be added to a current teaching license, is made to the Teacher Standards and Practices Commission (TSPC) upon successful completion of this program and receiving a passing score on the ESOL Praxis exam.
