3 3 Frequently Asked Questions 1. How did the ESOL endorsement requirement originate? In 1990, a suit was issued against the State of Florida by a united group of organizations for Florida s failure to make accommodations in instruction to ensure the academic success of all ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) students. The resultant mandate, the Consent Decree, requires ESOL training for every Florida teacher having at least one ESOL student in his/her class. Previously a responsibility of school districts, the state-mandated training has shifted to Florida colleges of education in all state-approved initial teacher certification programs. The Florida Department of Education has stipulated that graduates of initial teacher certification programs in the state s universities receive ESOL training. Education majors thus graduate with the required ESOL training for their particular program area. ESOL training for teachers primarily responsible for language development and literacy (i.e., Early Childhood, Elementary Education, Exceptional Education, and English Language Arts teachers) has been extensive. The training, which qualifies teachers for the ESOL endorsement, has typically consisted of 300 hours of in-service credit or 15 semester hours of courses addressing the following areas: methods of teaching ESOL, ESOL curriculum and materials development, cross-cultural communication, applied linguistics, and assessment. 2. What is the distinction between a subject area certification and an endorsement? A subject area certification, or coverage, is defined as the area in which an individual has a content knowledge base, such as exceptional education, early childhood, math, biology, English, etc. An endorsement signifies a pedagogical knowledge base, which targets particular levels, stages of development, or circumstances. Consequently, a graduate in English could obtain a certificate in English (6-12), which would be appropriate for teaching secondary English. However, in order to teach ESOL students in the secondary setting, the English major would also have to have the ESOL endorsement, which signifies proficiency in teaching such students. Once the ESOL endorsement is placed on the teaching certificate, the endorsement remains on the certificate indefinitely. Obtaining the ESOL endorsement enables educators to not only teach ESOL students within mainstream classes (e.g., a "regular" third grade class or a high school English literature class), but it also qualifies educators to teach self-contained ESOL classes at the grade levels for which the educator is certified (e.g., K-6, 6-12, etc.). This means that an ESOL-endorsed Early Childhood, Elementary, English, or Exceptional Education teacher may be employed as a full-time ESOL teacher that is why the Florida Department of Education requirements for obtaining the ESOL Endorsement through Infusion are so stringent. 3. Will I be required to take the ESOL subject area portion of the Florida Teacher Certification Exam (FTCE)?

4 4 No. 4. Who is required to graduate with the ESOL endorsement? Students pursuing initial certification in Elementary Education through the Masters of Arts certificate program who are not currently ESOL endorsed must complete all of the requirements to qualify for ESOL endorsement. These program areas are the areas primarily responsible for language development and literacy. This requirement began with Masters students under the catalog. 5. What is required to get the ESOL endorsement? For years, the State of Florida has been requiring in-service teachers to take 300 hours of inservice ESOL training or 15 semester hours covering five required topics: (a) Methods of Teaching ESOL, (b) ESOL Curriculum and Materials Development, (c) Cross-Cultural Communication, (d) Understanding Applied Linguistics, and (e) Testing and Evaluation of ESOL. The State now requires as a graduation requirement the same content for pre-service teachers. However, instead of having five stand-alone courses to meet the requirement, UCF has a state-approved infusion model that includes two stand-alone courses, TSL 5085 (previously numbered TSL 5373 and TSL 5528): Teaching Language Minority Students in the K-12 Classroom and TSL 6250: Applied Linguistics in ESOL. TSL 5085 should be taken during the student s first semester in the master s program since it explains the infusion model requirements and establishes the documentation system (TESOL portfolio) for the 25 ESOL Performance Standards. The model also consists of the infusion of the 25 ESOL performance standards throughout the curriculum, including field experiences. The infusion of the standards throughout coursework is documented in a TESOL Portfolio. The infusion of the standards in field experiences is documented in an ESOL Performance Profile. The Florida Department of Education gives teacher education institutions a choice in how they will meet the ESOL endorsement requirement: 1) Add 15 credits to each degree; 2) Add 6 credits to each degree and require faculty ESOL training, infused ESOL Performance Standards in most courses, a TESOL portfolio (documentation of ESOL Performance Standard attainment) and ESOL field experiences. The 6-credit option saves undergraduate students over $1,000 and graduate students over $2,500 in tuition. In addition, it saves students 180 hours of class time. 6. What exactly does UCF s College of Education ESOL Endorsement Infusion Model look like in the Masters of Arts program in Elementary Education? UCF s College of Education ESOL Endorsement Infusion Model consists of the following components: TSL 5085 (previously numbered TSL 5373 and TSL 5528): Teaching Language Minority Students in K-12 Classrooms (3 hours) Stand-alone course; overview course covering the five areas specified by the Consent Decree. This course should be taken during the student s first semester in the master s program since it explains the infusion model requirements and establishes the documentation system (TESOL portfolio) for the 25 ESOL Performance Standards.

5 5 TSL 6250: Applied Linguistics in ESOL (3 hours) Stand-alone course in applied linguistics; taught by the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures in the College of Arts and Humanities. Infusion of the 25 ESOL Performance Standards in foundation and content courses. The infusion focuses on methods, materials, and assessment strategies. This infusion is documented by means of a TESOL Portfolio that is maintained by majors in Elementary Education receiving their initial teaching certification in the Masters of Arts program who are not previously ESOL endorsed. Field experiences and internships with ESOL experiences. Although Internship is the only field experience/internship in which ESOL experiences are required, it is highly recommended that students qualifying for ESOL Endorsement be given further opportunities in other field experiences so they can gain additional experience in working with ESOL students. Students interaction with ESOL students is documented and assessed on the ESOL Performance Profile. 9. What courses are infused with the 25 ESOL performance standards? Elementary Education catalog year and after: see the Elementary Education ESOL Matrix in this handbook. There are also two Stand-Alone ESOL Courses: TSL 5085: Teaching Language Minority Students in K-12 Classrooms (previously numbered TSL 5373 and TSL 5528). This is an introductory course addressing the five required ESOL topics: (a) Methods of Teaching ESOL, (b) ESOL Curriculum and Materials Development, (c) Cross-Cultural Communication, (d) Understanding Applied Linguistics, and (e) Testing and Evaluation of ESOL. Each of these topics is further developed in the infused courses listed above. This course should be taken during the student s first semester in the master s program since it explains the infusion model requirements and establishes the documentation system (TESOL portfolio) for the 25 ESOL Performance Standards. TSL 6250: Issues in Applied Linguistics in ESOL. This course is an applied linguistics course for future teachers. It focuses on English phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics. 10. My catalog year is prior to Am I eligible for the ESOL Endorsement? To be eligible for the ESOL Endorsement, the student should have met the following criteria: He/she should have completed all of the ESOL-infused courses in his/her program. He/she should have maintained a TESOL portfolio. He/she should have taken both TSL 5085 (previously numbered TSL 5373 and TSL 5528) and TSL He/she should have planned, implemented, and evaluated instruction for one or more English language learners under the supervision of an ESOL-certified/endorsed teacher (if the teacher is pursuing the endorsement, an ESOL-endorsed/certified teacher may assist with the supervision of the ESOL component) for a period of multiple (minimum 2) weeks. This typically takes place during the final internship, but special arrangements, such as summer reading camps, are possible if necessary.

6 6 If the student meets the four criteria, he/she will be eligible for the ESOL Endorsement as long as his/her Internship includes a planned ESOL experience. All Elementary Education majors seeking the ESOL endorsement must be placed with an ESOL-endorsed teacher or a teacher currently working on his/her ESOL endorsement. If such a placement is not possible, then at least two weeks of the student s Internship must be with an ESOL-endorsed teacher and ESOL students. Since students with a catalog year prior to 2007 are not required to get the ESOL endorsement, the Office of Clinical Experiences will not attempt to place them with an ESOL-endorsed teacher for Internship. It is thus imperative that students who have a catalog year prior to 2007, but who want the ESOL endorsement, notify the Office of Clinical Experiences of their intent to qualify for the endorsement. Without this notification, the Office of Clinical Experiences has no way of knowing that the student must be placed in an ESOL-infused internship. 11. What is the TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Portfolio? The TESOL Portfolio is a student-prepared portfolio that documents the infusion of the 25 ESOL performance standards into the UCF teacher certification program. This portfolio is prepared by students enrolled in the Elementary Education M.A. program. There is a complete listing of the possible assignments/products that can be included as evidence in the TESOL Portfolio in the Sample TIP Sheet included in this handbook. 12. When is the TESOL Portfolio introduced? The TESOL Portfolio is introduced in TSL 5085 (previously numbered TSL 5373 and TSL 5528). This course should be taken during the student s first semester in the master s program since it explains the infusion model requirements and establishes the documentation system (TESOL portfolio) for the 25 ESOL Performance Standards. If a student is unable to enroll in TSL 5085 during the first semester, it is thus imperative that Masters of Arts majors in Elementary Education who are not currently ESOL endorsed take TSL 5085 as early as possible in their teacher education program. Waiting until the last minute to take TSL 5085 and to begin compiling the TESOL Portfolio could seriously jeopardize satisfactory completion of Internship and consequently, graduation. 13. How should the TESOL Portfolio be compiled?students should compile their evidence into a TESOL Portfolio, which is to be organized according to the courses in the student s program, including Internship. Each of the infused courses is to include opportunities to demonstrate proficiency in the ESOL performance standards assigned to that course. The specific ESOL performance standards addressed by the course are to be listed in the course syllabus. Matrices identifying which courses address which ESOL performance standards can be found within this handout (Table #2). Students will be responsible for organizing the pieces of evidence generated in each ESOLinfused and ESOL stand-alone course to demonstrate their proficiency in the 25 ESOL

7 7 performance standards. Instructor feedback must be evident on the piece of evidence. This feedback could be a grade, a comment, or even a checkmark. As students receive evaluated ESOL assignments in their courses, they should place them in the appropriate section of the TESOL Portfolio. In order to cross-reference the 25 ESOL performance standards, it is highly recommended that students write across the top of the assignment the ESOL performance standard(s) being addressed, as specified in the course syllabus. Depending on how the instructor designed an assignment, the same piece of evidence may be used to address more than one ESOL performance standard. 14. How many assignments should be included in each section of the TESOL Portfolio (i.e., each ESOL-infused course)? The number of assignments to be included for each ESOL-infused course is dictated by the number of ESOL-related assignments required by the specific course. Ideally, each ESOLinfused course should require at least two ESOL-related assignments for inclusion in the TESOL Portfolio. 15. I ve heard there is a TIP sheet that is supposed to go into my TESOL Portfolio. What is it and how do I get a copy of it? The TIP (TESOL-in-Progress) sheet documents the ESOL Performance Standards that have been addressed throughout a student s tenure in the teacher education program. In essence, it documents the infusion of the 25 ESOL Performance Standards throughout the teacher preparation curriculum. See the sample of a TIP sheet included in this handbook. The TIP sheet is arranged according to the 25 ESOL Performance Standards rather than according to ESOL-infused courses. It is arranged this way so that students do not have to make multiple copies of assignments that may address more than one standard. In addition, the format of the TIP sheet provides an easy way to check a student s progress in satisfying the 25 ESOL performance standards. The TIP sheet is to be included in this Handbook. As students receive evaluated ESOL pieces of evidence in their courses, they should record on the TIP sheet next to the standard addressed, the title of each piece of evidence, the prefix and number of the course and semester/year during which the piece of evidence was created. Download the TIP-Sheet from the ESOL website and keep constant record of your ESOL assignments ( Evidence must remain in the appropriate portfolio sections until the final portfolio check is completed by the college/university coordinator toward the end of Internship. The security and maintenance of the TESOL Portfolio and TIP sheet are the student s responsibility. 16. How many assignments should be included for each ESOL Performance Standard? There is no set number of assignments that should be included per ESOL Performance Standard. However, it is highly recommended that at least two assignments be included per

8 8 standard since it is difficult, if not impossible, to indicate mastery of a standard with only one assignment. Remember, the same assignment if it indeed relates to several different standards can be used to address more than one ESOL Performance Standard. 17. When should the TESOL Portfolio be completed? Prior to Internship, the faculty advisor will check that there is evidence of progress in advisees TESOL Portfolios. Likewise, students should be keeping their faculty advisor aware of the progress being made in developing this portfolio. Most, if not all, of the TESOL Portfolio should be completed prior to Internship. Waiting until the last minute to begin the portfolio could seriously jeopardize satisfactory completion of Internship, and consequently, graduation. At the beginning and midpoint of Internship, the college/university coordinator will check the TIP sheet for progress/completion. Any standards that have not yet been addressed should be addressed during the remainder of Internship through carefully planned activities specifically focusing on the standards in which proficiency has not yet been demonstrated. The portfolio must be completed by the end of Internship. The college/university coordinator will check for its completion and sign the final section of the ESOL Performance Profile signature pages where it is noted that the TESOL Portfolio has been completed. The profile, along with the final Student Teacher Competency Profile Summary, will be submitted by the college/university coordinator to the Office of Clinical Experiences. 18. What happens to the TIP sheet and TESOL Portfolio? The TIP sheet and TESOL Portfolio will remain with the student. Students should keep their portfolio in the event they are ever asked to provide it as evidence of their ESOL training.

9 9 19. How does the ESOL Endorsement Infusion Model work regarding the internships? For Internship, all Elementary Education majors must be placed with an ESOL-endorsed teacher or a teacher currently working on his/her endorsement. If such a placement is not possible, then at least two weeks of the student s Internship must be with an ESOLendorsed teacher and ESOL students. Provisions must be made for an ESOL experience within Internship. 20. What is the ESOL Performance Profile? The ESOL Performance Profile documents the infusion of the 25 ESOL Performance Standards into the field experience/internship component of the teacher preparation program for majors in Elementary Education. Students in these program areas must satisfactorily complete multiple weeks of planning, implementing, and assessing instruction for one or more ESOL students, supervised by ESOL qualified personnel. If a course includes a field experience component in which Elementary Education majors work with ESOL students, this activity can be documented on the ESOL Performance Profile. The students will need to be evaluated by an ESOL-qualified person (criteria are on the first page of the ESOL Performance Profile). This document is a powerful verification of our students' training in ESOL strategies and their ability to address the needs of these students. If students participate in a field experience (other than Internship II) in which they interact with ESOL students, it is the students responsibility to arrange for an ESOL-qualified person (criteria are listed on the first page of the ESOL Performance Profile) to observe and evaluate their ability to successfully interact with ESOL students. The ESOL Performance Profile will follow the students through their teacher preparation program. Its security and maintenance are the students' responsibility. 21. What happens to the ESOL Performance Profile at the end of Internship? During Internship, the intern is observed and evaluated by the college/university coordinator, who will record the evaluation of the intern on the ESOL Performance Profile. At the end of Internship, the college/university coordinator and the intern sign the final section of the ESOL Performance Profile signature pages where it is noted that the student has completed the ESOL Performance Profile requirements and the TESOL Portfolio. This profile, along with the final Student Teacher Competency Profile Summary, is then submitted by the college/university coordinator to the Office of Clinical Experiences. Students should place a copy of their ESOL Performance Profile in their TESOL Portfolio. The TIP sheet, the TESOL Portfolio, and the ESOL Performance Profile together represent fulfillment of the 300 hours of ESOL training required by the Consent Decree.

10 How does the Registrar s Office (where I get a copy of my official transcript) know that I have met all of the requirements to qualify for the ESOL Endorsement? After the Office of Clinical Experience receives the ESOL Performance Profile, they notify the Office of Student Services of the student s completion of the ESOL Endorsement requirements. If the student has satisfactorily completed the requirements, his/her audit is hand-stamped by the Office of Student Services, who then hand delivers the audit to the Registrar s Office. 23. How do I obtain the ESOL Endorsement on my teaching certificate? The Application for Florida Educator s Certificate may be obtained from the Office of Student Services. The student will need to complete two separate application forms. The student will complete one application form for Academic Coverage in Elementary Education certification, and another application form for English to Speakers of Other Languages/ESOL. A separate fee will have to be paid with each application. 24. I understand that there is a TESOL Website for students. How is it accessed and what does it contain? Everything you could possibly want to know about ESOL is now available on an openaccess website: Who is the UCF College of Education ESOL Coordinator? The UCF College of Education ESOL Coordinator is Dr. Joyce Nutta, jnutta@mail.ucf.edu, EDU 122N, (407) I understand that I should take TSL 5085 during the first semester I am accepted in the College of Education. What happens if all sections of TSL 5085 are closed? Can I get an override? Students who are unable to enroll in TSL 5085 should contact the Program Administrative Liaison for secondary programs (jheiner@mail.ucf.edu) to be placed on a waiting list (students should not the course instructor). Whenever an opening becomes available, the Program Administrative Liaison will the students on the waiting list to inform them which section she can put them in. If they accept that class, she will enroll them. If they refuse the section that she can put them in, they will go back on the waiting list. Students' messages to Janet should include: Subject: TSL 5085 Override Request Semester/Year--Section(s) (students may list multiple sections in order of preference if they all fit their schedules) In the body of the message, include:

11 11 1. Student name; 2. Student #; 3. Degree Program (i.e., Masters in Elementary Education); 4. What semester the student was accepted into the College of Education; 5. Reason for override request (e.g., attempting to take the course during the first semester in the program, as required by the course sequence, etc.); 6. A phone number where the student can be reached if necessary Requests for overrides for TSL 6250 should be directed to the Coordinator of that course at flfacult@mail.ucf.edu. The MA TESOL Program does not grant overrides for a closed course section of TSL 6250 if any other sections of the course are open. As the Subject line of your ed override request, students should type: Override Request Semester/Year TSL6250 The body of the message should include the following information: 1. Student name; 2. Student #; 3. Requested section(s) (students may list multiple sections in order of preference if they all fit their schedules) 4. Degree Program (i.e., Master's in Elementary Education); 5. What semester the student was accepted into the College of Education; 6. Reason for override request (e.g., attempting to take the course during the first semester in the program, as required by the course sequence, etc.); 7. A phone number where the student can be reached if necessary

18 18 College of Education TESOL-in-Progress (TIP) Sheet Revised August 2006 Student Name: Student I.D.: Major: The TIP Sheet cross-references the 25 ESOL performance standards infused in course assignments throughout the College of Education curriculum. In order to document all assignments infused with ESOL performance standards, organize the TESOL Portfolio according to the courses and internships in your program area (major). Place the assignments (pieces of evidence) generated in each ESOLinfused and ESOL stand-alone course and internship in the appropriate portfolio section. Instructor feedback must be evident on each piece of evidence. This feedback could be a grade, a comment, or even a checkmark. The number of assignments to be included for each ESOL-infused course is dictated by the number of ESOL-related assignments required by the specific course. Ideally, each ESOL-infused course should require at least two ESOL-related assignments for inclusion in the TESOL Portfolio. Depending on how your instructor designed a particular activity, the same piece of evidence may be used to address more than one standard. In order to further cross-reference the 25 ESOL performance standards, write across the top of the assignment the ESOL performance standard(s) being addressed, as specified in the course syllabus. Fill in the appropriate areas below. Record on the TIP sheet next to the standard addressed: the title of the piece of evidence, the prefix and number of the course, and the semester/year during which the piece of evidence was created. There is no set number of assignments that should be included per ESOL Performance Standard. However, it is highly recommended that at least two assignments be included per standard since it is difficult, if not impossible, to indicate mastery of a standard with only one assignment. Remember, the same assignment if it indeed relates to several different standards can be used to address more than one ESOL Performance Standard. Evidence must remain in the appropriate portfolio sections until the final portfolio review, which is conducted by the UCF College/University Coordinator during Internship II. The TIP sheet is to remain in the front section of the student s portfolio. The security and maintenance of the TESOL Portfolio and TIP sheet are the student s responsibility. It is recommended that students also place a copy of their ESOL Performance Profile in their TESOL Portfolio. The TIP sheet, the TESOL Portfolio, and the ESOL Performance Profile together will ultimately represent fulfillment of the 300 hours of ESOL training required by the Consent Decree.

26 26 College of Education ESOL Performance Profile - Exceptional Education Majors Student Name: Program Area: Student ID: The ESOL Performance Profile documents the infusion of the ESOL performance standards into the field experience/internship component of the teacher preparation program for majors in the Exceptional Education M.A. program. Students in these program areas must satisfactorily complete multiple weeks of planning, implementing, and assessing instruction for one or more ESOL students, supervised by ESOL qualified personnel (see description below). This document will follow the student throughout his/her teacher preparation program. Its security and maintenance are the student s responsibility. ESOL qualified personnel include: An ESOL teacher. An ESOL-endorsed supervising teacher. A supervising teacher who is pursuing the ESOL endorsement. The teacher should collaborate with an ESOL trained teacher in the supervision/observation of the student. A UCF college/university coordinator who has completed the required ESOL training. UCF faculty with the required faculty ESOL training. ESOL qualified personnel observing the student s performance in each Florida Educator Accomplished Practice should initial, date, and indicate performance level (E=Excellent; S=Satisfactory) in the box corresponding to the appropriate field/internship placement. On the signature pages at the back of this document, ESOL qualified personnel must also complete the required verification information for the appropriate field/internship placement during which they observed the student. Observations should ideally be made at different stages (early, midpoint, and late) in the student s teacher preparation program. However, ALL of the boxes under the Internship II column (regardless of whether or not observations and evaluations were made at earlier stages) should be checked off by the end of Internship. The student may demonstrate the same Florida Educator Accomplished Practice with ESOL performance standards in different field/internship placements with different activities. The final signature comes from the UCF college/university coordinator, who verifies in the final section of the signature pages that the ESOL Performance Profile requirements and the TESOL Portfolio have been completed. The UCF college/university coordinator is responsible for submitting at the end of Internship II the completed ESOL Performance Profile to the Office of Clinical Experiences. This document is submitted along with the final Student Teacher Competency Profile Summary.
