Register for this graduate-level course designed for New York City Teachers. Participants can earn three A+ or P credits towards their salary differential and 45 CTLE hours in the education of English language learners. Each 15-session course can also be used to fulfill three semester hours of the "Methods of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages" requirement for state certification in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL).
