    Post: NY ESL Teachers are now to PUSH IN to ELA?

    What fresh madness is this that New York State has cooked up for
    English as a Second Language Teachers? Oh wait, I meant to say,
    English as a NEW Language, our new appellation. All of a sudden we are
    not "qualified" to teach a stand- alone ELA class and we now must push
    in to a "qualified" read certified English Language Arts teacher's class?
    And while ELA teachers have been offered the opportunity to obtain an
    ancillary ESL license, the same courtesy has not been extended to ESL
    teachers. Why couldn't we apply for an ancillary English license? What
    misguided madness is this? Why is there no one in Albany advocating
    for us? We have decades of researched best practices behind us. Why is
    it that zero English students must now endure the stress of being
    included in a mainstream English Language Arts class? Is anyone in
    Albany awake?
