EDU 318ELA Intern Support - English Learners

Interns enroll in EDU 318ELA when they take on a full-time teaching position in a public school in the middle of a fall or spring semester and have not yet earned an English Learner Authorization. This section exists in order for newly employed interns to immediately receive the support required by State credentialing requirements. The Intern Support - English Learners Seminar is designed as a companion to the intern’s supervised teaching experience. The seminar involves working with a university support provider in order to meet state requirements regarding hours of support received by district and university personnel specifically targeting working with English Learners. The provision of support may occur face to face, through electronic media, or via teleconferencing. Log sheets to document hours of support are completed each semester. A total of 22.5 hours of support are required per semester that the intern does no hold an English Learner Authorization or a fraction thereof when becoming an intern mid-semester (based on State credentialing formula). Concurrent enrollment in either EDU 316F, EDU 364F, or EDU 378F is required.
