[eal-bilingual] Serious professional development for EAL TA

Is there anyone out there that can help?

Noreen. We need more information.
What counts are numbers of credits. I am asuming you have 120, since  
you need 360 for a full degree.
Once you have 240 credits you could Y] do a registered teachers  
programme. Are there any other diplomas you can do,from the place  
that allocated your current 120 credits, to top you up?
I mighht be worth contacting a Registered Teachers training place to  
check wth them too. London North Consortium, attached to Middlesex  
University, might be able to advise you if your current 120 credits  
will count for the RTP.

Good luck
