Arizona SEI Endorsement: Secondary Asynchronous
Earn the SEI Endorsement to add to your professional teaching certificate. 45-hour asynchronous course; take up to 6 months to complete.
Course Summary
Welcome to the Arizona Structured English Immersion (SEI) - Secondary Course!
The purpose of this course is to prepare Arizona teachers with the knowledge and skills to effectively provide Integrated Structured English Immersion instruction as designated in any of the four approved SEI models in the state of Arizona.
This course is self-paced and is designed to take 45 hours to complete. You will have up to 6 months to complete the content in this course. All course content can be accessed using the Modules tab on the left hand side of the screen.
The course has three overarching goals:
- To help teachers effectively carry out their responsibility for the teaching and learning of ELs as well as to understand the social and cultural issues that contribute to and impact the schooling of ELs.
- To expand teachers’ knowledge of how language functions within academic content teaching and learning, and how children and adolescents acquire a second language.
- To provide teachers with practical, research-based methods, and strategies to integrate subject-area content, language, and literacy development, thereby preparing students to meet the expectations of the AZELLA assessment, the Arizona English Language Proficiency Standards (ELPs) and the Arizona State Standards.
