World Languages Leadership Team Members
The World Languages Leadership Team is working with the New York State Education Department (NYSED) and the Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) to plan and implement the revisions to the New York State Learning Standards for Languages Other Than English, which we are proposing to be renamed as World Languages. Membership on this team comes from a variety of statewide organizations, various school districts and the Regional Bilingual Education Resource Networks (RBERN). The end product of this team will be a set of recommended revised standards for World Languages to be submitted to the Board of Regents for consideration and adoption in the summer of 2020.
