This course is designed to prepare teachers to take the ESL TExES 154 for ESL Certification and develop a core set of competencies needed to teach ELLs. The following topics will be covered: Langage Concepts and Language Acquisition, ESL Instruction and Assessments, Cultural Awareness, and Family/Community Involvement. Practice questions for the TExES exam will also be included.
This session is intended for teachers who are not required by the state to be ESL ceritified and teachers who are not currently under an ESL waiver. If space allows, the ESC will offer open seats to teachers serving under ESL waiver.
