Program Name:
MEd in K-12 English for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Second Language Education

Description:
Developed for licensed educators, the MEd in Culturally Linguistically Diverse Education program is 30 hours requiring ten courses, including field hours and a capstone. These classes are integrated into the endorsement classes to provide a comprehensive education for the teacher of culturally and linguistically diverse learners. Teachers who complete the MEd program have a strong foundation for working with children, other educators and parents in providing quality English language learning.
The MEd in Culturally Linguistically Diverse Education program aligns with the Association for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), Colorado Department of Education’s (CDE) Culturally Linguistically Diverse (CLD) standards and Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE) professional standards. The CDE and CCHE recognize the high quality of JIU’s MEd preparation degrees and have designated JIU as a state-approved program of teacher and principal/administrator preparation. For most states, graduating from an approved program of preparation is an important step toward achieving educator licensure or certification.
