Bilingual Education & English as a New Language

Our mission is to ensure that all New York State English Language Learners (ELLs) attain the highest level of academic success and that all Multilingual Learners (MLs) – which include ELLs, Former/Ever ELLs, World Languages students, and heritage speakers of World Languages – achieve the highest level of language proficiency in English and in one or more other languages. Our goal is to prepare all English Language Learners (ELLs) and Multilingual Learners (MLs) for success beginning in prekindergarten to lay the foundation for college and career readiness.
