All are welcome to join either cohort and receive this reduced tuition, even if they are not employed in the district where the cohort is located.

Endorsement Program Offerings
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Endorsement
The endorsement prepares teachers to work as an ESOL specialist at the Pre-K through Grade 12 levels, or to better support English Language Learners in their classroom. This program explores the principles, theories, research, and practices relevant to the needs of students acquiring English as a second or additional language. We also offer an online cohort for our ESOL Endorsement during the school year. Click here to learn more
Reading Intervention Endorsement
The endorsement prepares teachers to work as a Reading Interventionist at the Pre-K through Grade 12 levels, or as a Literacy Coach. Within each course, students explore literacy, effective instruction, the culture of our classrooms, and ways to differentiate for a wide variety of learners. The program is rooted in the theoretical idea that reading, writing, listening, and speaking are all language processes. We take an integrated and holistic approach to the teaching of these skills.
