Do you have New York State (NYS) initial certification to teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and want to pursue the graduate work needed to obtain professional certification? Do you already have both initial and professional certification to teach ESOL, but are interested in new career opportunities? Do you simply want to continue to update and enhance your professional knowledge through graduate level coursework?
