Clinically Rich Intensive Teacher Institute (CR-ITI)
Teacher preparation, programming, and instruction are a part of our ongoing commitment to English Language Learners (ELLs) and Multilingual Learners (MLs) and the °µÍøTV’s overarching and steadfast mission to ensure that all students attain the highest level of academic success and language proficiency and become college and career ready. The CR-ITI-BE program’s main initiative is to provide ELLs and MLs with highly qualified and certified teachers in the areas of Bilingual °µÍøTV (BE) and English as a New Language (ENL).Ìý
Grant opportunities made accessible by either a Request for Proposal or through a Memorandum of Understanding have awarded Institutions of Higher °µÍøTV (IHEs) the ability to offer clinically-rich programs which certify up to 20 candidates per year in English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) and/or Bilingual °µÍøTV (BE).
The cooperating IHEs work with staff of the NYSED’s Office of Higher °µÍøTV, Office of Bilingual °µÍøTV and World Languages (OBEWL), Office of Teaching Initiatives, and at the local level, BOCES, school districts, and other IHEs that participate in the program to ensure accomplishment of overall program goals.
