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: Language 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 certified and teachers who are not currently under an
ESL waiver. If space allows, the ESC will offer open seats to teachers serving under an ESL waiver.
Teachers not on an ESL Waiver that will build the capacity of your ESL program use code: Non-Waiver at checkout.
