Description

The professional seminar is a signature element of the adult learning model at Cambridge College. It grounds learning in a cohort group of students with a faculty leader experienced in teaching English language learners. This professional seminar leader is the students? academic advisor and guides them through their graduate program. The cohort studies professional standards for ESL teachers, and the requirements for state licensure (preK-6 and 5-12). Students integrate their learning from classes, workshops, and experience. Transformed by the resulting knowledge, competencies, attitudes and values, students become reflective practitioners and lifelong learners. The seminar also supports students? work on their independent learning projects, from identifying topics relevant to their course of study, to guiding the research and writing, to completion. The seminar leader approves the finished projects.
