Testimonials
-
In our increasingly diverse society, teachers need specialized knowledge and skills to create equitable educational opportunities for students. It really is not an option – our future depends on the children we are educating today. The Graduate TESOL endorsement certificate program at Miami provides in-service teachers the knowledge, skills, and experiences that will prepare them to meet the challenge of teaching English learners in their own classroom or as TESOL specialists.
