Bilingual Reading Teacher Certificate Program
Support English Language Learners
The 316 Bilingual Reading Teacher Certificate program enables students who hold or are working toward a bilingual teaching license to work more effectively with English language learners in their schools.
In the program, students complete coursework in ESL/bilingual education that builds the background necessary to work in bilingual and dual-language programs and support learning for English learners in the general classroom. The program also includes courses required of the 316 Reading Teacher License, which further builds their background in the teaching, learning and assessment of literacy.
Through the program, students learn to:
-
Administer elementary and secondary school reading programs.
-
Effectively support literacy development of monolingual and bilingual students in both English and the targeted language.
-
Implement effective interactive literacy intervention and bridging techniques.
-
Provide leadership in bilingual literacy proficiency.
