It is a partnership between the TESOL & World Language Education Program at the University and the Barrow County Schools, Habersham County Schools, and Hall County Schools.

Our goals are to:

1) increase the number of ESOL-endorsed educators in Georgia schools

2) adapt and improve the ESOL endorsement curriculum for Georgia in-service educators

3) through this professional development, improve the academic achievement of English learners in Georgia

We provide ESOL endorsement courses to teachers in our partner districts. Classes are FREE to teachers—tuition and books are provided by the GECAT Program, and participants receive a small stipend for each course. Courses are offered on-site at partner schools. Teachers will earn UGA graduate credit.

JOIN US!

The next cohort begins in spring 2014. Contact us today to receive more information or to enroll.
