For SBISD Educators - Masters Degree in Bilingual Education

Spring Branch ISD & The University of Texas at Brownsville invite district educators to an information meeting for a second M.Ed. cohort in Bilingual Education offering either a Dual Language or an ESL emphasis.

The first SBISD Cohort will graduate 13 students with a Masters Degree in Bilingual Education this May, 2013.

Currently, 19 teachers and administrators form a Houston Cohort of Masters and Doctoral Students in the Spring Branch ISD/ University of Texas Brownsville Partnership.

The dual language strand coursework is all in Spanish and is geared to K-8 teachers who want to work with bilingual learners in both Spanish and English.
