TCP Fall-Spring Part-time Program Schedule

The 2025-2026 part-time program will run from September 22, 2025- April 27, 2026.

  • Online portion: September 22, 2025- December 10, 2025
  • Onsite* portion: February 6, 2026 - April 17, 2026
  • Reflection Paper due - April 27, 2026

During the online portion, the hours are flexible. Students will take courses using a highly interactive learning management system called Canvas. The online portion is semi-synchronous, which allows students to study and complete assignments on their own time, abiding by the set deadlines by the instructors.

During the onsite* portion, students will be attending classes on Teachers College campus Fridays and Saturdays from 9:00am to 4:30pm. Students will take classes throughout the day and teach in the Community Language Program on Friday mornings. Following the onsite portion, students are required to complete a reflection paper that synthesizes their personal experiences and the knowledge that they acquired in the TESOL Certificate Program. The Final Reflection paper is submitted online following the last week of instruction.
