Second course is offered
Fall 2006-Spring 2009ESL 920CC English for Child Care and ESL 940CC English for Students of Child Development are taught on campus at Mission in alternate semesters. Still a dearth of content-based course
materials. Instructor builds expertise through connections with CHD professionals & self-study.

Third course fills a gap
Fall 2009: ESL 930CC English for Child Care II focuses on English language to discuss ages and stages of child development.
ESL 920CC, revised as English for Child Care I, focuses on English language to communicate about children, health and safety.

Learning community
Fall 2009: ESL 940CC English for Students of Child Development and CHD 1 Child Growth and Development are paired. Faculty communication is supported by Basic Skills Initiative funding.

instruction
