Engaging Culturally & Linguistically Diverse Students & Families in Secondary Schools
Online Course
Course Dates: Nov. 5 – Dec. 9, 2014

This online course provides a theoretical and practical foundation for culturally responsive teaching of English language learners in the secondary school setting. We will examine immigrant teenagers and their experience of schooling; the demographic and diversity profile of Massachusetts districts; cross-cultural communication and its implications for teaching and learning; and effective strategies for secondary schools to engage immigrant and refugee families. You will have the opportunity to reflect on your own teaching practice, apply course skills and strategies, and receive feedback from peers and instructor.

This course has been pre-qualified by the MA DESE to meet licensure requirements for renewal or extension of educators' Sheltered English Immersion (SEI/RETELL) Endorsement.

Especially for educators of grades 6-12.
