Program Information
In the fall of 2014, the Board of Regents adopted the New York State Education Department’s proposed amendments to Part 154 of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education. The Commissioner's Regulation Part 154 (CR Part 154) establishes the legal requirements for the education of English Language Learners (ELLs) in New York State.
Based on an ELL's English proficiency level, there are required and flexible units of Integrated and Stand-Alone ENL.
Integrated ENL: Our Integrated ENL classes in the middle and high school is when our certified ESOL teachers (teachers of English to speakers of other languages) "push-in" to a general education class . At times, the content area is specifically ELA (English Language Arts). At other times the content area could be Math, Science or Social Studies.
Stand-Alone ENL: Our Stand-Alone ENL classes in the middle and high school is when our certified ESOL teachers "pull-out" students from the general education class. During this small group and individual instruction time, students receive support for their core content areas and specific instruction in their English language development.
