ED 626 Designing and Leading K-12 ESL Programs in the 21st Century
(3 credits)
This course is an advanced course for those who already have completed the ESL Program Specialist Certificate as well as ED 502 , ED 630 and ED 635 and are interested in thinking about how to design and lead ESL programs in a variety of K-12 contexts. Students have opportunities to analyze and critique national and local ESL curriculum models, the ways that high-incidence and low-incidence schools and districts organize personnel, curriculum and technology resources, and utilize grant-writing for special projects for English Language Learners. Students have opportunities to design a curriculum for a district with particular needs and resources, and to imagine what kinds of personnel structures might best facilitate the implementation and oversight of such a program. Students also have opportunities to discuss these issues with local ESL leaders working in a variety of contexts through course projects and invited speakers.
IMPORTANT: This course requires fieldwork. Students must have current required clearances on file with the School of Education. (See Obtaining Clearances)
Prerequisite: ED 622 , ED 623 , ED 624 , ED 625 or equivalent and ED 502 , ED 630 and ED 635 .
