PGCert in Bilingual, Multilingual, and Multicultural Education

This online graduate certificate equips educators to teach multilingual learners across mathematics, science and multiliteracies. Its foundation is culturally sustaining pedagogy, paired with creative methods suited to students who bring linguistic and cultural resources into school. Teachers gain confidence in building engaging lessons that draw on those strengths. Learners explore how to design inquiry-based, multimodal lessons that engage multilingual immigrant and refugee youth. The curriculum serves preservice teachers, classroom teachers, curriculum specialists and ESL instructors who want every multilingual student to reach their potential. Participants leave with practical tools for lesson design that respects each learner's home language. Students take one course each term, moving through fall, spring and both summer sessions. The schedule suits working educators, and the full program is designed to be completed in twelve months.
