RETELL –Extending the Learning

While an educator can learn a great deal about Sheltered English Instruction (SEI) through an SEI Endorsement course, there are infinite opportunities to extend that learning and practice thereafter. Moreover, whether or not an educator has been required to obtain the SEI Endorsement, after July 1, 2016, under recertification regulations every public school educator in the Commonwealth must earn 15 PDPs addressing the needs of English language learners in each relicensure cycle.

The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education provides information about well-designed avenues to extend SEI learning and practice. Please visit the Extending the Learning page for more information.
