The New York State Education Department (NYSED) Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) is seeking proposals for the creation of a Clinically-Rich Intensive Teacher Institute (CR-ITI) in Bilingual Education (BE) and/or English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program, addressing the shortage of certified bilingual and ESOL teachers throughout New York State (NYS).
The contract(s) resulting from this RFP will be for a term anticipated to begin July 1, 2018 and to end June 30, 2023.
The eligible applicants are Institutions of Higher Education (IHE) that have a NYS certified program in Bilingual Education leading to a bilingual extension, and/or English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program leading to a certification in ESOL and that are located in New York State. The IHEs must collaborate with LEA partners to select mentor- teachers to work with candidates. A signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is required between the IHE and the collaborating LEA(s).
Up to ten Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) around the state will be selected for this CR-ITI-BE/ESOL program: five (5) in NYC and five (5) in Rest of State (ROS). Each IHE will receive an award of $110,000 per year for five years. It is expected that these funds will be available each year subject to continued funding by the NYSED Budget.
The distribution of funding was determined by the number of English Language Learners (ELLs)/Multilingual Learners (MLLs) students in each region.
