Every classroom has multilingual learners. And every educator can be ready for them.
Every educator works from one foundation
MLE Basics gives every educator — regardless of role or content area — the same practical grounding in supporting multilingual learners. No more uneven preparation from building to building. Your whole system works from one foundation.
We build it so you don't have to
TESOL builds the entire course for you, directly in your LMS, and maintains it after launch at no additional cost. You get a complete, expert-built program without pulling your team off their existing work to create one.
It's aligned to your state, and owned by your state
We align the content to your state's regulations and guidance, fold in your approved resources and examples, and deliver rollout materials ready to send. The result feels state-owned and immediately relevant — flexible to your context and consistent across your system.
What's inside
MLE Basics is an on-demand, self-paced course rooted in TESOL's The 6 Principles for Exemplary Teaching of English Learners®.
In fewer than 15 hours, participants move through five core competency modules:
- Language and Literacy Learning
- Sociocultural Context
- High-Quality Instruction and Support for Multilingual Learners
- Assessment and Evaluation
- Collaboration and Leadership
Each module includes practical activities that build real confidence, and participants earn a downloadable certificate on completion.
Want to go further? TESOL can provide a facilitator guide to blend the course with in-person PD.
