Other NYSED Updates

English Language Learner (ELL) and Immigrant Student Counts for 2022–23 ESSA Title III Allocations

• The purpose of this communication is to inform all LEAs to update and/or verify their counts of English Language Learners (ELLs) and immigrant students in the Student Information Repository System (SIRS) beginning the week of May 8, 2023, through the week of June 9, 2023. NYSED will use these counts to calculate the allocations to LEAs for 2023-2024 ESSA Title III ELL and Immigrant funds.  

• LEAs should work with nonpublic schools to identify inaccurate data. Nonpublic school ELL and immigrant counts should reflect students who were enrolled on BEDS Day, October 5, 2022. 

• See the English Language Learner (ELL) memo for more information.

• Title III ELL and Immigrant allocations will be posted in July 2023 at Allocations, Poverty Data, and Student Counts.

If you have any questions regarding these procedures, please contact the Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages at obewl@nysed.gov or (518) 474-8775 or contact the Office of Information and Reporting Services at datasupport@nysed.gov.

NYS TESOL Conference Call for Proposals

The NYS TESOL 53rd Annual Conference invites you to participate, present and collaborate along with the TESOL community across New York State and the world. They invite any proposal that ties in with their theme to engage attendees in conversations around “All educators are educators of ELLs.”

They are particularly focusing on creating opportunities for students to use all their linguistic, cultural, and racial experiences and resources when learning English in today’s multilingual contexts across the globe. In order to achieve this, educators need to take a fresh look at how they diversify their teaching methods to suit the needs of various populations, as well as uplift the voices of those educators and scholars not often heard as leaders in the field of TESOL.
