World Language Leadership Council
The Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) is forming a World Language Leadership Council to provide a regular forum for world language educators and administrators to discuss and share their questions, concerns, and suggestions with NYSED. This Council will also serve as an additional means of communicating information and initiatives regarding world language programs to the field, complementing our professional learning offerings, website, and newsletter. Teachers who serve as a world language department chairperson or administrators who serve as a director of world languages may join. We ask that membership in the Council be limited to one person per school plus a district level employee, if desired. The Council will meet virtually (via Zoom), for one hour on one Monday of the month from September to June. Attendance at meetings is completely voluntary and CTLE credit will be awarded on a semester basis for those meetings attended. Interested educators should complete this brief Google form with their name and contact information by September 23rd. Links to join the first meeting will be sent out on a rolling basis as forms are received.
All meetings for 2021-22 will be on Mondays from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
