The competency-based Endorsement Preparation Program in English Language Learning (K-12) is designed for currently licensed elementary and secondary school teachers who desire to be licensed to teach in English Language Learning (ELL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) settings. The program may lead to an endorsement in ELL or ESL, but this applies only in those states that have such endorsements. By obtaining this endorsement, you will increase your career opportunities, earn re-licensure points, and possibly become eligible for lane changes leading to increased salary. This program is only for those interested in teaching English Language Learning. It is not recommended for those interested in learning to speak or write English.
