| On July 1, 2006, Fordham University entered a 5-year contract with the New York State Education Department Office of Bilingual and Foreign Language Studies to open a Bilingual ESL Technical Assistance Center (BETAC). Through this endeavor, all Bronx schools having English Language Learners receive professional development and technical assistance services in support of providing best practices and standards based education. |
