WHAT WE DO
About the Hudson Valley Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (RBERN)
What does the HV RBERN do?
Under the direction of the NYS Education Department Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (NYSED OBEWL), the HV RBERN provides support and technical assistance to English language learner (ELL) educators in 142 public school districts across the lower- and mid-Hudson region.
ELL services and support are also provided to charter schools, non-public schools and other organizations (universities, regional educational organizations, etc.) as well as for world language (WL) students within the State’s P-16 initiative.
Where is the HV RBERN located?
The Hudson Valley RBERN services 142 districts; therefore, we have more than one office across our region. Our "home base" is located at Southern Westchester BOCES at 450 Mamaroneck Avenue in Harrison, NY.
We also have a satellite office at SUNY New Paltz at 1 Hawk Drive, New Paltz, NY in the Van Den Berg Hall Annex room 401G.
