Bilingual Authorization
Alliant International University - CSOE
Alliant International University’s California School of Education (CSOE) is proposing to offer two Bilingual Authorization pathways for Spanish and Mandarin: (1) Post-Credential and (2) Concurrent Credential. The Bilingual Authorization will address the need for bilingual teachers and make a substantial impact on the teacher supply in California. Post-credential candidates must hold a valid preliminary or clear teaching credential for enrollment. Candidates will have met authorization for teaching English Language Learners and show language competency in Spanish or Mandarin prior to admittance. Concurrent Credential candidates must be concurrently enrolled in an Alliant teaching credential program within the intern pathway when applying for entry into the Bilingual Authorization program and must meet language competency in Spanish or Mandarin for program admission.
Courses and assignments are intentionally designed to engage experiences that promote the understanding of theories, concepts, principles, methodologies and approaches which candidates can readily utilize for practice: Dimensions of Bilingual Education; Theory and Method of Bilingual Pedagogy; and Culture of Emphasis. There are multiple tools in place to ensure the effectiveness of the Bilingual Authorization program which will enable it to be well equipped to provide training and develop competencies at the highest level in its candidates. As an integral component of the California School of Education, the Bilingual Authorization is subject to the same rigorous assessment standards as are all programs not only in CSOE, but also institution-wide. The University has a comprehensive system in place by which its academic programs are monitored for effectiveness and revised and improved, as needed.
