The English as a New Language Professional Development Academy will focus on two primary objectives:

1. ENL Licensure for Indiana teachers

• Courses offered at Masters Level – can be used towards M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction.
• Courses offered at Undergraduate Level for teacher candidates wishing to add ENL certification.
• Certification opportunity for licensed Indiana teachers who wish to add ENL.

2. Professional Development for teachers in schools.

• Professional Development for those working with English language learners (content/classroom teachers, ENL teachers, paraprofessionals, volunteers, service organizations).
