CPELL Scholars
The students in the CPELL program are organized into cohorts (ELL-M1 and ELL-M2). After two years of course work and study at Loyola, these educators will be awarded an M.Ed. in Instructional Leadership with a focus in ELL. In addition to receiving a tuition stipend, the enrolled educators' home districts will receive additional support and programming from the CPELL team. Students enrolled in the CPELL program are dedicated to becoming effective teacher leaders in multicultural, multilingual schools.
Some of the CPELL scholars spent their summer studying abroad at the John Felice Rome Center and wrote about their experiences. ELL-M1 ELL-M2
