Bilingual Education
Our Bilingual Education programs prepare students to become skilled, knowledgeable, caring educators who will provide meaningful schooling experiences to English language learners in dual-language settings. Faculty and students in Bilingual Education programs believe additive bilingualism is a desired goal for learners, diversity is a strength upon which to build learning, and families and communities are a source of strength and knowledge in the development of children as learners.
Bilingual Education programs for teachers are offered in Spanish/English, French/English and Chinese/English. Our School Counseling with Bilingual Concentration and Bilingual Extension for Pupil Personnel who hold NYS certification programs are offered in Spanish/English.
Programs in Bilingual Education include:
Bilingual Early Childhood Education
Bilingual Education Extension: NYS Certified Teachers
Bilingual/TESOL Advanced Certificate ITI (for NYCPS Teachers)
