As Florida's K-12 school populations continue to increase in cultural and linguistic diversity, the demand for teachers qualified to meet their needs becomes critical. Previously within the jurisdiction of Florida's school districts, teacher training in ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) has shifted to colleges of education per Florida legislation. To address this mandate, a large metropolitan university in Central Florida developed a comprehensive multimedia ESOL Endorsement Infusion Model for the extensive training of its faculty and student populations. Now that several years have passed since the initial implementation of the model, the overall positive student and faculty perceptions serve as testimony to the success of an ESOL training model for colleges of education throughout the state and beyond.
