Spanish Bilingual Education Technical Assistance Center (SBETAC)

The NYS Spanish Bilingual Education Technical Assistance Center (SBETAC) is a program funded by the New York State Office of Bilingual Education and Foreign Language Studies. Its goal is to enhance the knowledge and competencies of educators, parents, and community members for the implementation and sustainability of high standards instructional programs for Spanish-speaking limited English proficient/English language learners (LEP/ELLs) in New York State.  Services are offered to all New York State schools and school districts.

The NYS Spanish BETAC provides professional development, technical assistance, and resources to schools and districts that serve Spanish-speaking English Language Learners and their families. We also provide information, support, and resources to community-based organizations and other entities that seek to better meet the academic needs of Spanish-speaking LEP/ELLs and their families.

Included on these pages is information about our staff and their diverse academic and professional backgrounds, our on-going initiatives, service menu, and a compendium of resources on research, policy and practice that are updated on an on-going basis. Please check back for updates.
