About
With New York City’s diverse student population, there is an ever-
increasing need for high-quality educators who are well-equipped and trained
to serve our bilingual students.
The Subsidized Bilingual Extension Program meets this need by allowing
principals to nominate new and current teachers at their schools to
immediately begin teaching bilingual classes under a supplemental bilingual
extension certificate while completing coursework at a partnering university
.
In addition to having the cost subsidized by the New York City Department of
Education, participating teachers who complete the appropriate coursework
while adhering to Subsidized Bilingual Extension Program requirements will
earn the bilingual extension to their teaching certificate and credits
toward a salary differential.
Eligibility
Providing that participating principals and teachers both meet the
requirements listed below throughout the duration of the program, all
schools are eligible to participate, regardless of grade level, subject area
(s), or whether or not the school has an approved bilingual education
program.
Requirements
In order to participate in the Subsidized Bilingual Extension Program,
participating teachers must meet the following requirements:
Possess an active initial or professional certificate issued by the New York
State Department of Education
Teach a schedule in the 2012-2013 school year that includes at least one
bilingual course
Be accepted by a partnering university program, which includes passing a
language proficiency exam
Agree to take the requisite coursework in sequence without interruption
Remain in good standing with their university program throughout the
duration of their coursework
Remain in good standing with the New York City Department of Education
throughout the duration of the program
Partnering University Programs
For the 2012-2013 school year, the NYC Department of Education has partnered
with two colleges to offer the Subsidized Bilingual Extension Program.
Please see below for more information on individual programs as coursework
varies slightly between the two institutions:
HUNTER COLLEGE
East 68th St., New York, NY
Languages: Spanish
Credits: 12
Duration: Fall 2012 - Summer 2013
Other: Participating teachers will complete coursework alongside other NYC
Department of Education teachers working to earn the Bilingual Extension
CITY COLLEGE
West 137th St., New York, NY
Languages: Cantonese, Mandarin, Bengali, French*
Credits: 18
Duration: Fall 2012 - Fall 2013
Other: Rather than joining a cohort of other NYC Department of Education
teachers working to earn the Bilingual Extension, participating teachers
enroll and complete coursework independently
*Other languages may be considered
