The course is designed for teachers who will be teaching English Learners (ELs). It provides an opportunity to review students' WIDA scores and explore the curriculum that they will be learning. 

This will enable educators to come up with language acquisition strategies that will help their ELs grasp the content material successfully. 

Teachers will be required to bring in lessons and curriculum materials that they can work on in class to begin tiering content for their incoming ELs. The content of this professional development (PD) program will include SEI strategies from the SEI Endorsement/RETELL course. 

This program meets DESE requirements for 15 PDPs in the category of Sheltered English Immersion/English as a Second Language during each 5-year Professional License Renewal cycle.
