How to Become an ESOL Endorsed Teacher Newman University ESOL Teaching Endorsement Program In Kansas and throughout the nation, there is a growing need for
teachers who can provide instruction and educational support when
English is the second language for students. Newman University provides
the specific courses that are required for Kansas Licensure Endorsement
as an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher. In addition, these
courses can be used as the basis for a M.S. ED. degree program in
Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in ESL. The Newman ESL
Endorsement Program is a 15 credit hour program that is designed to
provide teachers with the knowledge, skills and attitudes essential for
excellence in teaching all students for whom English is a second
language. Completion of this program adds ESL endorsement to the Kansas
Teaching License. Face-to-Face Course Instruction available in Hutchinson Area ITV Options Available Statewide at Specific Site Locations Contact Information: Nancy Folkerts Coordinator ESL Program, Western Kansas Newman University Western Kansas Center 236 San Jose #39 Dodge City, KS 67801 (620) 227-9616 folkertsn@newmanu.edu Program Details

Try Fort Hay State University Contact Information Dr. Wolf Kozel Assistant Professor and Coordinator of ESOL 210C Rarick Hall (785) 628-5568 w_kozel@fhsu.edu Prior to beginning the ESOL Endorsement program, you will need to be
admitted to the Fort Hays State University Graduate School as a
degree-seeking or non-degree seeking student. In addition, you will
need to file an ESOL Endorsement Program form with the department. If you wish to teach in Kansas, a valid Kansas teaching license is required for this program. If you are from outside Kansas, please check with the department regarding licensure in your state.
The ESOL teaching program is fully accredited by the National Council on Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Kansas State Department of Education.
ESOL Endorsement Option -- Praxis Test Only New licensure regulations regarding the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) endorsement were approved by the Kansas State Board of Education as of July 2008. ESOL endorsement can be added to one’s teaching license by taking and passing the appropriate licensure assessment -- the Praxis English to Speakers of Other Languages. The notation “assessment only” will be included on one’s license when endorsement is obtained in this way. Due to the demand for ESOL endorsed teachers, this option has benefited many school districts, but does not by any means replace the value of an ESOL program course study provided by an accredited college institution. The individual should go directly to the KSDE to obtain this license endorsement information and visit the Praxis site for test-taking information (www.ets.org/praxis). The Praxis ESOL assessment is very challenging. Workshops are available through Wichita State University, Southwestern Plains Regional Service Center, and Fort Hays State University to help teachers prepare for this assessment. Information for a FREE Blackboard Course through Fort Hays State University is available at the KATESOL website: katesol.org Upcoming Praxis Test Dates: Saturday, June 12, 2010 Saturday, July 24, 2010 Everything ESL with Judie Haynes Check out Teaching Tips tab for multicultural awareness information and class-builders.

Scholastic's "Kids Are Authors" Contest Kids Are Authors is an annual competition open to Grades K–8 and is designed to encourage students to use their reading, writing, and artistic skills to create their own books. Under the guidance of a project coordinator, children work in teams of three or more students to write and illustrate their own book. The creative process of working in teams helps provide a natural environment to practice editing, teamwork, and the communication skills necessary for future success. All students involved get a sense of pride and accomplishment from submitting the team project. Two Grand Prize winning books will be published in each of these categories: Fiction and Nonfiction. The winning books will be published by Scholastic and sold at Book Fairs throughout the country. Landmark House, Ltd. To encourage and celebrate the creative talents and skills of students, Landmark House, Ltd. is pleased to announce The 2009 National Kids-in-Print Book Contest for Students. Landmark House, Ltd. will then publish the three winning students' books, one from each of the three age categories. The books will be printed and assembled according to the finest quality standards of book publishing. What wonderful experiences await the three winners! When their books are selected for publication, they will be offered publishing contracts. They also will enjoy all-expense-paid trips to our offices in Kansas City, Kansas, where Landmark's professional staff will assist them in the editing, refining, and final production of their books. Within months, the winners will become published authors and illustrators and will be paid royalties annually on the sales of their books. http://www.landmarkeditions.com/Scripts/contest.asp Barry Lane has a great sense of humor and really knows how to motivate kids to write by tapping into to fun side of language and words.
