Embedded Files
Clemson University College of Education was awarded a $2.3 million grant by The U.S. Department of Education, Office of English Language Acquisition, to research the best approaches for teachers working with English learners.
The main purpose of the grant Building Capacity for Early Multilingual Learners: Bridging Literacy and ESOL (CU Bridge ESOL) is to increase instructional capacity in six high-need school districts, engage caregivers in supporting multilingual learners (MLs), and in turn improve MLs’ achievement and self-efficacy.
By the end of the grant period, 50 teachers will participate in professional development through Clemson’s Master’s in Literacy program, focusing on English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and becoming certified in literacy, literacy coaching, and ESOL.
The grant will cover all tuition, application fees and test fees associated with the degree program.
