Separating Difference from Disability with Students Learning English as an Additional Language
This four-week course, designed for K–12 practitioners working with limited English language learners in general education, bilingual education, ESOL/ELL education, and special education, addresses specific issues in assessment, intervention, and identification strategies that are most effective in separating difference from disability. Participants will learn what tools and strategies are available and appropriate to use. Responses to intervention models for English language learners will also be explored, focusing on the interpretation of data gathered during the general education intervention problem-solving process, prior to conducting an evaluation for special education.

TESOL: Training for Trainers
Through this course, participants will take time to reflect on their current or would-be program through several key tasks and discussion boards in an online community, take action to boost their program's profile and, most importantly, transform current programs using technology. Participants will be introduced to several free online resources to help enhance their English language teacher training program. Participants will also create an extensive resource guide or module that they can further customize after the course. This program is appropriate for both experienced English language teachers starting their journey in teacher education, as well as seasoned educators looking to add to their repertoire of practical ideas and strengthen their theoretical knowledge.
