HV RBERN Update

We'd like to share important Information about the NYSESLAT:

This memorandum provides important information concerning procedures for requesting, shipping, and storing materials for the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT) for Spring 2020. For the 2019-20 school year, all NYSESLAT test materials will be requested through the online ordering system of the NYSESLAT vendor, MetriTech, Inc.

All information in this e-mail and subsequent e-mailings pertaining to these tests will be available on the Department’s website.

Please be advised that the NYSESLAT Speaking test window has been extended by one week. Districts may begin administering the Speaking assessment on Monday April 6, 2020. The revised Elementary/Intermediate Testing schedule memo outlines the changes, including the dates for field testing. Please share with colleagues as appropriate.

From NYSED:
The New York State Education Department’s Office of Curriculum & Instruction has developed an email notification service to directly provide educators important information relevant to their area of certification and assignment. Information shared through this service will include content area standards updates, resources, professional development opportunities, regulatory or requirement changes, etc. To subscribe to this service click here.
