ELL MODULES
As the number of students from diverse cultures continues to rise in our PK-12 classrooms, the College of Education and Human Services is providing teacher education candidates with online modules containing vital legal information about how to assess and enroll English Language Learner (ELL) students in our schools.
After candidates pay the registration fee, the ELL modules will be listed as a course on their Western Online account. The ELL fee is a ONE-TIME fee of $15.00 paid at the same time they register for the TCA, in Horrabin Hall 111. Candidates will be enrolled in the ELL modules from the time they register until they graduate or withdraw from the program. This allows faculty to utilize the module content in methods classes as well as serving as a valuable resource to all pre-service teachers.
It is estimated that it will take 5 hours or less to complete these modules. The assessment is focused on gaining an understanding of basic ELL terms and acronyms through multiple choice and true/false questions.
Candidates will be required to complete ALL ELL modules prior to student teaching.
