EDUC 0631 - Sheltered English Immersion
Credits: 3
An Endorsement Course for Teacher/Educators: This course will provide pre and in-service teachers at the graduate level with the knowledge, skill and dispositions essential to effectively shelter their content instruction to ensure that the English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms will successfully access curriculum and achieve academic success. This course will also help teachers understand the relevant policies and laws as well as the social and cultural issues that contribute to the schooling of ELLs and the diversity of ELL populations. This course will also expand teacher’s’ knowledge of how language functions within academic content teaching and learning, and how children and adolescents acquire a second language. Educators will plan instructionally diverse lessons based on assessment data within the context of a standards-based curriculum. The course will provide candidates with research-based protocols, methods and strategies to integrate subject area content with language and literacy development. Students will apply the MA English Language Development (ELD) World Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) standards necessary to support ELL students’ success with all Massachusetts curriculum standards for Pre-K-12 learners. A field experience is required and might be shared with another filed experience course.
Prerequisites: EDUC 0519, 0554, 0571 or the equivalent or experience in teaching.
