  13. Outlook for Maryland Education “The imperative to accelerate minority achievement grows with each school year, as Maryland will soon have a non-Caucasian majority in its public schools.” Source: Maryland 2001 State of Education Report (MSDE website)

  14. According to the Maryland Teacher Staffing Report, 2002-2004: • For 2002-2003, Maryland public schools projected a need to hire 155 teachers certified in ESOL; however, they’re projected to hire only 110 (71% of need). • As a result, ESOL is once again listed as a “critical shortage area” in Maryland.

  15. Class of 2003: Years Teaching Experience

  16. Grades Represented • Almost every grade is represented from kindergarten through high school. • Content areas include elementary education, language arts, Spanish, special education, English, Latin, math, and literacy.

  17. Schools Represented

  18. Certification? • Out of the 12 students currently enrolled, 8 students have elected to seek TESOL certification • A couple other students have expressed a possible interest and will decide later whether to pursue full certification
