[ISLMA-Share] ESL/Bilingual Endorsement

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I am currently taking classes to get my ESL endorsement through the
University of St. Francis. I am fortunate that our district formed a cohort
that meets at the school in which I work. There are 5 classes and we will
be finished in one year. Each class is 8 weeks of work and we meet once a
month for 4 hours an evening. For each week there are three assignments; a
discussion question related to the reading assignment, an activity based on
the reading, and a reflection. I will be able to get my 100 hours during
the school year since we have ESL students in almost every class that comes
to the LRC. I can use the hours in which I am in contact with these
students to count towards my 100 hours. I must admit it has been a
challenge to work full time and do all the homework. I'm now in the
Assessment class and feel that the assignments are valuable to apply to the
SLO formative and summative assessments we are creating in our district.
Attached is a description of the cohort at our school. There is a phone
number of Bill Freeman who can probably tell you where the next closest
cohort to you will be starting up.
