Strategies for Supporting and Engaging Parents of ESL Students

Course #:

EDEU 9018

Credit:

3 semester hours of graduate level professional development credits from University of Massachusetts Global.

Cost:

$400

Course Description

One of the essential components of almost every student’s success in school is a supportive and engaged parent. This is especially true for TESOL students as they are dealing with the challenge of learning the curriculum in another language. In this class, we will present a 5-step program to provide teachers with the knowledge and tools to help the parents of TESOL students to become the supportive and encouraging parent that their student needs to succeed.

Note: Participants with limited to no contact with ESL students can discuss their research and strategies with accessible classroom teachers.  Information will be shared to encourage best teaching practice and professional growth.

Specifics

Once you register for a course, please allow 24 hours to receive your coursework. The LoVerde Group will email you a Google Drive link containing your coursework along with a welcome email.

If you have any questions, please contact Emily Berchier at:
