Sheltered English Immersion Endorsement

Gain strategies to help English language learners thrive in every classroom.

Emmanuel College’s Sheltered English Immersion (SEI) Endorsement course equips educators with the tools to support students at all levels of English proficiency. You’ll learn how to shelter content instruction so English language learners (ELLs) can access curriculum, engage confidently, and achieve success across subject areas.

Upon completion, students are eligible for Massachusetts’ SEI Teacher Endorsement, a key credential for educators working in multilingual learning environments.
