TESOL Add-On Licensure 

This online program is flexibly designed to fit around your full-time teaching schedule.  

The TESOL Licensure Program (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) is a series of five graduate-level classes for teachers to add English as a New Language (ENL) P-12 certification to their Indiana license. 

As a licensed ENL teacher, you will be more hirable, prepared and confident as you come alongside English Language Learners (ELL). Nearly half of Indiana’s local education agencies (LEAs) reported having zero ENL-licensed teachers on staff during the 2018-2019 school year while more than 90% of Indiana LEAs reported having at least one English learner enrolled (IDOE). Our schools need you!
