Explanation of opportunity: 

 
NOTE: This course will be an introductory section that could be stacked to receive a full minor or graduate certificate (per the IDOE expectation) if the participant chose to pursue further coursework. However, currently only one class would be required to complete the rubric option attached.

This course is designed to address topics relating to EL Education, language education and the improvement of instruction for English Learners at all levels. It will also reference many compliance requirements.

This course includes 8 asynchronous modules that will be completed over the 8 weeks at a schedule that works for the learner.  There will be three required live Zoom meetings during the 8 weeks, day/time TBD.

 

We have two options available before the IDOE deadline and seats are limited so sign up soon! Once registered, you have committed to filling that seat. Please only register if you are able to fully commit at this time as we do not want to deny others the opportunity.
