Summary
English Language Learners and Student Support, (DELLSS) seeks organizations that can support individuals and teams of educators with varying prior experience educating ELLs and can deliver effective teaching practices to New York City’s instructional leaders and teachers so that they, in turn, can provide coherent, rigorous ELL programs. Organizations can also propose professional development for teachers of ELLs in grades K-12. Professional development should emphasize developing educators’ capacity to incorporate English as a New Language (ENL) teaching methodology in their disciplines, helping ELLs access the core curriculum in the primary subjects: English, social studies, mathematics, and science. Accordingly, vendors will propose for any or all of the following components: Component 1: Professional Development Services in Home Language (Spanish and/or other language currently offered in a TBE or DLE program). Component 2: Professional Development on Academic Language Development. Component 3: Professional Development on Mathematics. Component 4: Professional Development on Science and STEM. Component 5: Professional Development on Social Studies. Component 6: Professional Development on English Language Arts.
