Certification for teaching 2nd language under debate
The Journal Gazette - Jeanne Taylor is old school in the education world. The Franke Park Elementary teacher has traveled around the world teaching children English and to figure out the best ways for them to learn.
She taught children in Taiwan and later traveled to refugee camps from Thailand to the Philippines to pick up teaching skills she could bring back to her Fort Wayne classroom to help her own foreign students learn her language.
The 30-year veteran is now entrusted with helping students learn to read and write in a language they’ve never spoken.
Her degree in education allows her to teach limited-English-speaking students, but Taylor does not hold a specialty license in teaching English as a New Language and has never completed the college courses required to achieve that certification.
