ESL Initial Teacher Licensure Program (49 credits)
ESL Endorsement Program for Licensed Teachers (18 credits)
ESL Endorsement Program for Licensed Teachers plus the MATESOL (36 credits)
Students accepted in the Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MATESOL) Program may wish to concurrently pursue the ESL Initial Teacher Licensure Program which is administered by the Graduate Education Programs. The Licensure Program prepares students to teach ESL in public schools in Vermont at the PreK-Grade 6, Grades 7-12, or PreK- Grade 12 levels. Without the ESL License, MATESOL graduates are not certified to teach in public schools. The Licensure Program requires a portfolio.
Acceptance to the MATESOL degree program does not automatically mean acceptance to the ESL Initial Teacher Licensure Program. As soon as you have been accepted to the MATESOL degree program, you must subsequently apply to the Graduate Education Licensure Program. Please see the Graduate Education ESL Licensure Program for details and list of course work.
