Candidates collaborate to improve outcomes for minoritized and historically underserved students and to lead improvements in the systems and structures that have perpetuated inequity. This cohort, run in partnership with three divisions of the Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (RBERN) in New York State, has a special focus on developing leadership for multilingual learners. However, we will address all areas needed to earn your building and district level credentials and to successfully inhabit a wide variety of formal and informal leadership roles.

NYSESLAT Speaking Exemplar and Listening CDs
NYSESLAT Speaking exemplar Listening CDs’ formatting may not play on some CD players.
If your CDs will not play, your district can email NYSESLATscm@grp.pearson.com with a list of staff (and their emails) who require access to digital audio files. In approximately 24 hours the list of staff should receive SharePoint access to NYSESLAT Digital Audio Files. This workaround is intended to be a back-up for schools only if the CD players do not work and is therefore for emergency situations.
Here are three things you can do to prepare:
Secure external CD drives for PCs/Laptops
Prepare the list of staff names and emails that would require digital audio file access, and
Test Listening CDs as soon as they arrive.
