Attendance and Participation Policy
Because the course format depends heavily on class participation and student interaction, it is crucial that participants arrive on time and be prepared to discuss assigned course readings/materials, and contribute to whole/small group discussions. Participants should complete all assignments by the specific due dates

Attendance to all class sessions is required. If, however, a participant misses a session, it is his/her responsibility to work with the course instructor to arrange for making up the missing class.

The SEI endorsement will be conferred upon successful completion of the course for those enrolled in EDUC 595: Stand Alone SEI Course.

Individuals interested enrolling in PDPs must have permission from the instructor. Please email Dr. Wilma Ortiz at fortiz@westfield.ma.edu with answers to the following questions:

2. What is your current professional responsibility?
3. Do you have access to ELL students in your classroom? If not, do you have access in the building for the required 10 hours of instructional time?
