Registration for Spring 2010

Today was the first day of registration for the Spring 2010 semester. I'm not sure if I just got lucky or if they've updated the registration system to handle more load, but I was able to register in no time this morning.

Next semester I will be taking:

TSL 5325 English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Instruction in the Content Areas

This course is designed to prepare non-ESOL teachers to instruct English language learners in public school content areas (i.e., science, math, social studies) and specialized areas (i.e., art, physical education). It places emphasis on language sensitive instructional planning and delivery, adaptation of instructional materials for enhanced comprehension, testing and placement of students, and cross-cultural awareness. It satisfies the teacher certification requirements for content area teachers. It is not part of the ESOL Endorsement required of primary language providers.

LIS 5512 School Collection Development and Management

The course is designed to provide an understanding of the attitudes, knowledge and skills necessary to manage human resources and provide effective leadership in a school library media program. Covers collection development and management in school libraries. Required for school media certification. Recommended to take the semester before taking the State of Florida media specialist exam.

This includes my first education class. I know it will require some sort of tutoring and/or observation of an ESOL student, so we'll see how that goes.
