New York State Department of Education

The embargoed 2022 NYSESLAT Scores are now available in Level 2 Reporting. Available scores are to be used for planning and programming purposes. Follow this link to view the 2022 Memo, NYSESLAT—Determining an English Language Learner’s (ELL) English Language Proficiency Level. 

Please note that NYSESLAT Scores are embargoed until released to the public. Data under embargo may not be discussed at public meetings, with Boards of Education, Charter School Governing Boards, or otherwise released to the public. Embargoed data are preliminary data to be used for programming and instructional purposes. Student level data are to be shared only with a student’s parent or legal guardian via the individual student report (ISR) to be available in the L2RPT. 

If you have any questions regarding NYSESLAT Data, please contact your Regional Information Center or Big 5 Scanning Center. You may also contact us at rbern@swboces.org.

The Center’s program of research in science—CSEL Science—focuses on developing the science knowledge and skills of secondary-level English learners and their English proficient classmates.

Reminder . . . closing on August 15th!

The HV RBERN is running a free, month-long virtual professional learning camp to support educators as they continue to build capacity in meeting the needs of ELLs in their schools and classrooms. Our camp features multiple workshops on ELL-related topics; participants will select workshops that best meet their needs.

Successful completion of individual workshops will result in CTLE credits; credits per workshop will vary; and will be delivered through a digital certificate. Each workshop activity will generate its own CTLE certificate, which will be emailed directly to participants upon 80% correct completion of its culminating quiz. FRONTLINE (MLP) REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

To access the workshop activities, utilize the links provided here:
