| Endorsement Preparation Program |
| English Language Learning/English as a Second Language (PK-12) |
|
| An English Language Learning (ELL) or English as a Second Language (ESL) endorsement is a
great investment. The online ELL Endorsement Preparation program is designed for currently licensed elementary and secondary school teachers who desire to be licensed to teach in ELL or ESL settings. By obtaining this endorsement, you will increase your career opportunities, earn re-licensure points, and possibly become eligible for lane changes leading to increased salary.
WGU is the only exclusively online teacher education institution in the nation to receive NCATE accreditation.
