Bilingual / ESL Technical Assistance Center

The goals of the Bilingual/ESL Technical Assistance Center (BETAC) are to assist districts in formulating strategies that prepare Limited English Proficient/English Language Learners (LEP/ELL) students to attain the New York State Learning Standards and reach the new assessment goals; to create opportunities for ongoing  dialogue among educators for the encouragement of educational reform for LEP/ELL students; and, to explore and support promising practices which provide access and excellence in academic areas for LEP/ELL students.                                  

Services of the BETAC are tailored to meet individual  needs.  They are provided in-district or at Nassau BOCES and are funded in part by New York State Education Department grant.  They include conferences for educators on bilingual/ESL issues; conferences for parents; focus groups/forums; and, staff development workshops.

Technical assistance is provided in the areas of grant writing, program and curriculum development, laws and regulations, State and Federal funding for bilingual and ESL programs.
