Title III, Part A Language Instruction for English Learners and Immigrant Students
In New Jersey, we are so lucky to have a Department of Education that has an Office of Supplemental Educational Programs that supports many of our students in this state.
Specifically, they administer funded programs under ESEA/ESSA such as Title I part C (migrant education) and Title III (language instruction for English Language Learners and Immigrant Students). Did you know that they also oversee Title IX, Part C (McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act)?
The value of the work that they do is evident not only in the successful programs around the state, including but not limited to the Seal of Biliteracy and Educational Stability for Children in Foster Care, but also by the popularity of their workshops at our NJTESOL/NJBE Spring Conference.
We at NJTESOL/NJBE are so grateful for their hard work and willingness to collaborate in the education of multilingual learners in the state. Recently the Department of Education has revised its website, and the Office of Supplemental Educational Programs would like to alert educators and administrators to the new information locations. There are also more pages for parents and the opportunity to have the page translated using the Google translate tab at the top of the page.
See below for more about the contents on the site.
