What type of work does an ESL endorsed educator do and how does an ESL endorsement affect my employability in a K-12 public school in Maine ?
Teaching ESL is a growing specialty in Maine’s public school systems. Participation in this field varies from part- to full-time ESL instruction and/or tutoring, or in addition to mainstreamed classroom instruction. An ESL endorsement not only provides an opportunity for an individual to work in a new and rewarding capacity, but it may also improve their employability in the Maine public school system because each school district with ESL students is required to have an ESL endorsed teacher on staff. .
