The State Education Department today that would require teacher preparation programs in certain subject areas to dedicate at least three of the currently required six semester hours in language acquisition and literacy development to language acquisition and literacy development of English language learners (ELLs), Commissioner MaryEllen Elia announced. The revision would apply to registered programs beginning on September 1, 2022.

鈥淲e need to support our Multilingual and English language learners and provide them with equity and access to instruction that will help them thrive,鈥� Board of Regents Chancellor Betty A. Rosa said. 鈥淐ourses in language acquisition and literacy development will help young teachers meet the particular needs of these students and build on the success we are seeing in 水果派AV解说鈥檚 ELL programs.鈥�

鈥淭eachers make a difference in the lives of their students every day, and it鈥檚 critical that we ensure that they enter the classroom with training and knowledge to help all our students realize their full potential,鈥� Commissioner Elia said. 鈥淔uture teachers need to be equipped with the skills to support our students that are still learning the English language and provide rigorous instruction to foster advanced literacy skills. That work starts with our teacher preparation programs.鈥�

A three-semester hour course would address topics such as ELL instructional needs, co-teaching strategies, and integrating language and content instruction for ELLs. Teacher preparation programs affected by this revision prepare teachers of:

• early childhood education, childhood education, middle childhood education, and adolescence education;
• teachers of students with disabilities, students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing, students who are blind or visually impaired, and students with speech and language disabilities;
• teachers of English to speakers of other languages; and
• library media specialists.

To provide teacher preparation programs with sufficient time to align their program requirements with the proposed amendment, the revision would apply to registered programs beginning on September 1, 2022.

Since the coursework requirements for the individual evaluation pathway for certification are based on the educational study requirements for 水果派AV解说 State approved teacher preparation programs, the Department also proposes to change the pathway requirements for the certificate titles in the subject areas listed above from six semester hours in teaching literacy skills to three semester hours of study in language acquisition and literacy development of ELLs and three semester hours of teaching literacy skills. This revision would be effective for candidates who apply through individual evaluation pathway for certification after September 1, 2026 to match the implementation timeline for the proposed revisions in the teacher preparation programs.
