100 Years of Making Good Teachers Great

Lesley has been a leading provider of teacher education programs for more than 100 years. We offer 9 advanced degree programs in Literacy/English Language Acquisition, are home to the Center for Reading Recovery and offer multiple Literacy Coaching Institutes annually. Our online TESOL certificate program, designed by distinguished multilingual professor Solange Lira, helps teachers working with culturally diverse student populations address key educational needs across five domains:

•Language
•Culture
•Planning, implementing, and managing instruction
•Assessment
•Professionalism

Lesley University’s teacher education programs have an outstanding reputation.  Our graduates are highly sought after nationally by school districts concerned with teaching English to those whose native language is not English.

Teachers who pursue Lesley’s TESOL certificate program may also have the option to apply earned credits to Lesley’s Self-Designed Master’s program, and earn an additional endorsement in high need areas such as math, science, literacy, instructional technology, teaching online, special education, and Autism.

Because the requirements and endorsement(s) that may be earned vary by state, it is important that you speak directly with a Lesley representative to ensure that you understand which courses you will be required to complete, what endorsements you will be eligible to earn, and what steps your state requires you to take before you can receive the endorsement.

Please complete the form to the right and a Lesley education consultant will contact you shortly.
