English Language Learners

The transition to Remote/Hybrid learning environments, has proven to be a challenge for English Language Learners/Multilingual Learners, their families and their teachers. One of the goals of the TRLE grant is to address this by providing valuable resources geared toward this population with language barriers.

Erie 1 BOCES houses WNY’s Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network (RBERN), that supports development of robust equitable learning environments where the heritage language of every child is supported while addressing the linguistic demands of English proficiency.

Through this RethinkWNY site, the WNYRIC in collaboration with RBERN West, aims to provide these valuable resources, to students, families, and teachers across WNY to aid in overcoming the obstacles that have been created with the shift to remote and hybrid learning environments.
