Curriculum Scope and Sequence

Through TELL courses, teachers gain a mastery of research-based second language acquisition (SLA) and how English Language Learning (ELL) students learn. Because of the holistic program design, the curriculum packs courses with relevant content, provides strategic redundancy, and builds knowledge across courses. The links below describe how each course contributes to the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of teachers.
