New York State (NYS) Learning Standards for World Languages

The NYS World Language Standards Initiative is pleased to announce that selected unit plan exemplars created by world language educators around our state are now available to view on the LiveBinders platform.

Each unit plan exemplar was reviewed using a rubric to ensure alignment with the NYS Learning Standards for World Languages, as adopted by the NYS Board of Regents in 2021. Selected unit plan exemplars represent quality examples of unit plans that reflect the priorities of these revised standards. These exemplars will serve as a guide in developing thematic unit plans and support educators’ transition to the revised standards.

Important Update on Supplementary Certificate Pathways

In response to the influx of recently arrived and asylum-seeking students, and to promote the teaching of English Language Learners in NYS schools, the Board of Regents recently adopted an emergency rule to provide flexibilities for the Supplementary Certificate and Supplementary Bilingual Education Extension.

There are three options to expedite the process:

  1. Option 1 - You currently hold an English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Initial, Professional, or Permanent New York State teaching certification and you are seeking supplementary certification in a content area.

  2. Option Two - You currently hold a New York State teaching certification and you are seeking a supplementary Bilingual Education extension to your current certification.

  3. Option Three - You currently hold a valid Initial, Professional, or Permanent New York State teaching certification and you are seeking supplementary certification in English to Speakers of Other Languages.

Supplementary Certificate Pathways
