English as a Second Language Endorsement

Kansas State University is pleased to announce that Kansas elementary and secondary teachers and administrators are able to complete requirements for an English as a Second Language (ESL) endorsement via distance education. This endorsement is offered to educators who are certified to teach in Kansas.

Mission
The mission of the CLASSIC© Endorsement Program (Critically-reflective Lifelong Advocatory for Secondary language learners, Site-specific Innovation, & Cross-cultural competency) is to provide a comprehensive program designed to meet the needs of educators and administrators.

The ESL courses are designed to allow educators to address issues which are relevant and applicable to their classrooms and school sites.

Delivery
The entire CLASSIC© Endorsement Program is offered via distance delivery. Participants do not need to come to the K-State campus. Auxiliary support is provided to participants through a toll-free telephone number, FAX, electronic mail, e-mail list, and World Wide Web.

Instructors meet with all participants face-to-face in locations around Kansas at the beginning and end of each semester. Between those meetings, participants meet in groups with school colleagues, setting their own pace and their own schedule for video viewing and related activities.
