Teaching English Learners (EL) Endorsement
All coursework leading to the Endorsement in EL is offered online.
The coursework requires a 60-hour EL practicum where the student will observe, teach, and assess EL students under the supervision of an endorsed EL teacher. This allows pre-service teachers the opportunity to activity work with the populations that they will teach, and often the pre-service teachers are hired by the same school systems in which they perform their EL.
