Are the MIU IV ESL & Google Classroom Certification Programs approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE)? Yes, the courses are 100% approved by PDE. It is the same approval process as every other ESL & Google Classroom program offered and approved in the State of Pennsylvania. Why is the price for the full six-course ESL Certification & Google Classroom certification programs so low? Some online institutions charge more, but the curriculum approved by the PDE is the same. This course series is delivered online. Because we do not have physical classrooms and buildings, we pass on these savings to the teachers. We want to keep the program affordable for all teachers in the state of Pennsylvania. How long has MIU IV been offering ESL Certification to Pennsylvania teachers? MIU UV in partnership with eAdviser has certified thousands of teachers over the last 20 years. Amid Covid-19, how is the mentoring portion of the program handled? Approved by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, all mentoring will be done online until further notice. Each participant will have an eAdviser assigned to them for the duration of the course and as they need assistance throughout the year.
