Benefits of a TESOL Supplemental Endorsement
Holders of a TESOL supplemental endorsement and a Mississippi educator’s license are more marketable within the state of Mississippi as well as outside the state. Educators with a TESOL supplemental endorsement are better prepared to teach in multilingual environments and are uniquely placed to meet the growing demand for the teaching of English as a second language.
