English as a New Language (ENL) and World Languages (WL) Resources | | |
|
The Mid-State RBERN Toolkit provides educators with the most up-to-date, researched-based strategies and resources for ENL and World Languages. Check out our website for information regarding NYSED Updates, Instructional Practices, Teaching Materials, and more! | |

Our English Language Learners (ELLs) and Multilingual Learners (MLs) inspire us with their incredible resilience, determination, and perseverance. Their stories illustrate diverse experiences, showcasing varying strengths and abilities. Through their stories, we hope to highlight the richness of their narratives throughout the Mid-State Region.
Mid-State RBERN's Monthly Newsletters will highlight the outstanding work and stories of our ELLs/MLs, recognizing and sharing their inspiring journeys to success.
