Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) Teacher Endorsement Course

The ACCEPT Collaborative is a Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education approved provider of the  SEI Teacher Endorsement course.  Participants who successfully complete the course and its requirements will be eligible to receive the SEI Endorsement.

The Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) Teacher Endorsement course is designed to help equip teachers to address the needs of a multilingual and multicultural student population by training teachers in research-proven practices for working with English Learners (ELs). During the course, teachers are expected to practice instructional strategies grounded in SEI research both in the endorsement course and in their classrooms. Teachers will also be encouraged to sustain and develop their SEI practices over time through a variety of professional growth opportunities. This course is designed to promote continuous improvement in educator practice and to build teachers’ confidence and familiarity with instructional methodology for working with English Learners.
