Introduction

Make education accessible for all students regardless of their linguistic or cultural background. Learn how to meet bilingual students' needs and teach young people in culturally inclusive and responsive ways so that public education is equitable for everyone in your community. Cohorts begin the fall semester of even years.

You will work with faculty and professionals to:

Understand major theories, concepts, and research related to language acquisition and language development for emergent bilinguals.

Examine best practices in designing curricula and provide instruction supporting literacy learning and language development in learning content.

Boost your knowledge of instructional strategies to select and design materials that support emergent bilinguals in developing English language proficiency.

Learn how to include culture, diversity, and equity in designing learning environments that support fair academic access and learning opportunities for emergent bilinguals.

Apply classroom and school data to support linguistically marginalized students, mainly including content learning and language development for emergent bilinguals.

Work closely with emergent bilinguals in school-based field experience settings, applying your studies of language acquisition and instructional methods that enhance language and content learning.

Collaborate with a faculty advisor on a personalized research project that explores educational issues impacting instructional practices and school structures and has clear implications for policy and practice.

You must have a bachelor's degree to enroll. Our CLD options do not lead to teacher licensure. You may use these programs to augment your existing teaching license with a CLD endorsement in Colorado or a TESOL endorsement in New Mexico. Be an effective educator in an organization that serves people of diverse backgrounds or teaches internationally.
