SUNY New Paltz's TESOL program still has a few spots available in the Clinically Rich Intensive Teacher Institute beginning in August 2020. This Certificate of Advanced Study is designed for professionally certified teachers who are working full time in public schools in New York. The coursework consists of a sequence of 5 hybrid courses with online and some in-person (or Zoom) Saturday meetings and leads to New York teaching certification in ESOL. Because of grant support from NYSED, if the program is completed in its entirety, the full cost for teachers after reimbursement for the 15 graduate credits and certification recommendation to the state is $1,750. For more information, check out their website at: https://www.newpaltz.edu/iti/ or write an email to intensiveteacher@newpaltz.edu expressing your interest. Because of COVID-19, the deadline has been extended until June 30th. New information and/or orientation sessions will be held later this spring/summer. Dates are TBA.

New York State Community Schools Technical Assistance Centers (NYS CS TAC) are requesting feedback on how they can best serve their districts. Please complete their survey here. For more information about NYS CS TAC, contact: cstac@rockland21c.org.

NYSTESOL has had the Google Classroom Student Tutorial translated into 9 languages: Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Spanish, Chinese, Haitian, French, Korean, and Arabic. For more information contact: NYSTESOL.
