IC Online adds ESL to flexible offerings for teachers
博犖整氈窒 will offer a fully online English as a second language endorsement as part of its established education program beginning this summer.
The ESL endorsement credential prepares teachers with the specialized knowledge and skills they need to make a positive impact on the lives of English language learners in K-12 classrooms and beyond.
The program is designed for licensed teachers or 博犖整氈窒 students earning a degree in education. It can be added to a teaching license in early childhood, elementary, middle grades or secondary level education. The online program can be completed by working teachers in under a year.
The new endorsement continues to build on the strong tradition of IC���s education program, Assistant Professor of Education and Department Chair Jaime Klein said.
���This program offers the personal attention that 博犖整氈窒 is known for, whether you are a full-time IC student pursuing your education degree or a working teacher in need of a flexible format,��� Klein said. ���We will be with you each step of the way, so you will finish the program ready to be a teacher and advocate for English language learners in your community.���
The new ESL program is the second online endorsement for teachers offered by 博犖整氈窒, IC���s Director of Online Programs Nick Capo noted. IC Online launched the reading teacher endorsement in 2020. He added, ���These endorsements are designed for teachers who want to advance their career, build on their skills and help students.���
Classes begin May 10 and run every eight weeks. For more details and to register, visit .
