The TESOL/TESOL CR ITI advanced certificate programs are designed for certified teachers who are seeking additional New York state certification in ESOL (English to Speakers of Other Languages). The 15-credit programs lead to certification in ESOL, which enables program completers to teach English learners in pre-K to grade 12 settings.
These programs are offered entirely online, with cohorts.
The curriculum for both programs includes educational theories, second language acquisition, language and literacy development and methods and assessment for English language learners in various school settings.
What is TESOL CR ITI?
The Clinically Rich Intensive Teacher Institute (CR ITI) program is an initiative by the New York State of Education (NYSED) to help address the widespread shortage of K-12 English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) teachers in NY public schools. To this end, the CR ITI program offers financial support to teachers who are interested in completing the requirements for teaching certification to work with English learners in K-12 environments.
Students in the TESOL CR ITI program complete the same courses as students in the TESOL Advanced Certificate program but are expected to study as full-time students and complete their courses within a year. At the end of each semester, students who have successfully completed their courses will be reimbursed for tuition.
Those who are interested in the TESOL CR ITI program should reach out to Dr. Beth Clark-Gareca.
