The filling of this position is based upon continued funding in the Board of Education budget.
Note: Teachers dually certified in TESOL, Bilingual Education or ESL, with experience in Sheltered Instruction or fluency in a language other than English, will be given preference for all Stamford Public School positions.
General Statement:
The Connecticut State Board of Education (CSBE) believes that high-quality, comprehensive and effective English as a Second Language (ESL) and bilingual education programs are essential to acquire English language proficiency and academic proficiency for students who are English Learners (ELs). Bilingual teachers work under Section 10 17e(2) of the C.G.S. This statute defines bilingual education as a program that: “(A) Makes instructional use of both English and the eligible student’s native language (B) enables eligible students to achieve English proficiency and academic mastery of subject matter and higher order skills, including critical thinking, so as to meet appropriate grade promotion and graduation requirements; (C) provides for the continuous increase in the use of English and corresponding decrease in the use of the native language for the purpose of instruction within each year and from year to year and provides for the use of English for more than half of the instructional time by the end of the first year.”
Bilingual teachers are bilingual certified instructors who teach individuals who are bilingual eligible and have selected the bilingual program. Bilingual teachers work with eligible students to provide grade level appropriate content with linguistic and academic supports. The goal of the bilingual program is to provide Spanish or Haitian-Creole language support as a scaffold for students in order to make the core curriculum comprehensible for ELs while building language proficiency in English.
Educational programs for ELs are regulated by the Every Student Succeeds Act, Title I and Title III. The Bilingual teacher is a part of the Stamford Public Schools EL Department. The Bilingual teacher receives supervision from building administration and technical supervision and assistance from the Coordinator of English Learners (EL).
