ESOL Add-On Endorsement Training
The ESOL Add-On Endorsement Training prepares teachers to serve students who have special needs because they enter the school system speaking a native language other than English.
Effective teachers strive to create inclusive, effective learning activities for all students. ESOL endorsement guides your tailoring of instructional support to help the second language learner master content and overcome social barriers to participation in classroom learning activities.
