ELL Connection Fridays

We hope that you and your loved ones are doing well.

ELL Connection Friday, March 27, 2020, 1:00 – 2:30 PM
We want to connect with you to learn about what you are doing to support your ELLs while they are learning from home and to share these practices with other educators of ELLs.

This Friday, March 27th, from 1:00 – 2:30 PM, we are hosting an ELL Connection Friday Zoom conference call during which participants can connect and share something that is working well in support of ELLs, while they are learning at home.

If you are interested in sharing a best practice during this call on Friday at 1:00 PM, please complete this form. We will send participants the Zoom information prior to the ELL Connection Friday conference call.

The number of participants for this conference call will be limited, but we plan on recording it so that others can watch it at their leisure. We plan on scheduling future conference calls; information will be shared in future newsletter blasts.

Information and Resources

OBEWL and NYSED are committed to providing reasonable options to assure the continuity of instruction and programs. To that end, you will find general guidance in the form of an FAQ on implementing the Seal of Biliteracy this spring.
 

NYSED released a memo regarding the suspension of the New York State Elementary- and Intermediate-Level State Assessments, including the NYSESLAT, for the remainder of the school year in response to the statewide closures of schools and districts, to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
