ESL / Bilingual Committee
The ESL/Bilingual Committee of the UFT is comprised of educators K-12. We believe that ESL and Bilingual approaches hold an important place in the NYC School System. Our goal is to help students function as full members of society.
One goal of the Committee is to learn techniques that will best enable us to serve our diverse student population. We profile classroom strategies that encompass both ESL and Bilingual methodologies.
To this end, we invite speakers, both in-service and from outside agencies, to demonstrate up-to-date strategies, materials and resources that can be incorporated as cross-curricular tools in the classroom. When called upon, we will advocate for our students, the institutions that serve them and those programs and techniques that have proven successful.
We welcome your support, ideas, and contributions.
