General Statement:
The Connecticut State Board of Education (CSBE) emphasizes that high-quality, comprehensive, and effective English as a Second Language (ESL) and bilingual education programs are essential for English Learners (ELs) to achieve English and academic proficiency. Bilingual teachers operate under Section 10 17e(2) of the C.G.S., which defines bilingual education as a program that: “(A) makes instructional use of both English and the student’s native language; (B) enables students to achieve English proficiency and academic mastery; (C) gradually increases English use while decreasing native language use for instruction, with English used for more than half of instructional time by the end of the first year.”

Bilingual teachers are certified instructors who teach bilingual-eligible students in the program, providing grade-level appropriate content with linguistic and academic supports. The goal is to support students with Spanish or Haitian-Creole language scaffolds to make the curriculum comprehensible while building English proficiency.

Educational programs for ELs are regulated by the Every Student Succeeds Act, Title I, and Title III. The Bilingual teacher is part of the Stamford Public Schools EL Department, supervised by building administration, with technical support from the Coordinator of English Learners (EL).
