Project Enhancing Quality Teacher Preparation Through Research-Based Instructional Best Practices for Bilingual and English Learners
Thanks to an Office of English Language Acquisition (OELA) professional development and evaluation research grant, Project Enhancing Quality Teacher Preparation Through Research-based Instructional Best Practices for Bilingual and English Learners (EBEST) is helping prepare and certify Texas in-service and pre-service teachers for the bilingual education or English as a second language (ESL) classroom.
Helping teachers gain bilingual and ESL endorsements
Teachers who consent to participate in this research project will receive no-cost bilingual or ESL online certification prep courses and course materials, with the opportunity for reimbursement of their exam fees and earning professional development hours. The Bilingual and ESL courses are 3 weeks, and the BTLPT course is 6 weeks.
