In the current climate, English learners need informed advocates with the knowledge and connections to make a difference in Delaware schools. In this year’s institute, you will join colleagues from across our state to better understand the processes of second language acquisition so as to help your ELs succeed in the classroom, develop academic language, and integrate in your schools. You will learn how to give corrective feedback, support inter-cultural communication, and promote bilingualism.

Delaware educators taking the course for undergraduate or graduate credit receive a scholarship worth approximately 60% of full tuition.
For Delaware public school teachers taking the course only for professional development hours, tuition is waived, but no university credit will be awarded.
