ACCESS: Actively Connecting Content, English, Students and Standards

ACCESS is a graduate certificate course which provides sustainable professional development to help teachers better meet the needs of English language learners (ELLs) in mainstream classes. Our vision is for all English language learners to be academically successful and participating members of the school community.

Is ACCESS for you?

• Are you a classroom teacher, supervisor or administrator who would like to learn about effective instruction for English language learners in mainstream classes?
• Are you interested in a hands-on program that helps you to implement new ideas in your classroom?
• Could your school benefit from reflective professional dialogue focused on building sustainable achievement for English language learners?
• Would you like to challenge yourself with a rewarding professional development opportunity and earn three graduate credits?
• Would you like to host an ACCESS course for 8 or more teachers?
