Re: ELL/ESL endorsement...SPEDHEAD
Posted by ASPD on 9/25/08
ASPD offers "fast-trak" classes that are accepted toward the ESL and
Bilingual endorsement in Illinois. Currently, there is a "Weekend
Intensive" that will launch October 17th at the Little Village
Community Center. Costs are WELL below that of colleges and
universities. $1350 for the first three courses plus $450 upon
completion for credit. $1350 for the second set of three classes,
plus $450 upon completion for credit. Credit is provided by Chapman
University (CA) which is fully accredited. Two additional cohorts
are planned to form: one in the Ukranian Village area and one
somewhere around DesPlaines.
