Newark Board of Education Approves K-12 ESL Curriculum

The Office of Bilingual Education (OBE) is excited to announce NBOE’s approval of the K-12 ESL Curriculum. The standards-aligned lessons use the Quality Teaching for English Learners (QTEL) “Three Moments” in a lesson plan designed to engage all English Learners in active participation that builds their autonomy.

The curriculum is systematic and explicit in providing sustained language instruction through clear and differentiated learning outcomes. This supports the district’s English Language Learners in language acquisition. Teachers will continue to receive professional development to ensure successful implementation of the new curriculum.
