New Initiatives
The NYS Manhattan Staten Island BETAC is committed to building the capacity of teachers, school leaders, and other personnel through a wide range of professional development offerings. We have designed several new initiatives that are in keeping with our mission to provide our educational community with professional development that focuses on effective teaching and learning practices that are culturally and linguistically responsive to the educational needs of our English language learners (ELLs). The following represents an overview of these new professional development initiatives for the current school year.
