ESL Certification with Reimbursement and Stipend Opportunity

Hello LPAC teams!

I am really excited to share the news that the Bilingual/ESL department is offering an amazing opportunity for ALL your teachers to obtain their ESL certification, and receive not just the reimbursement for the cost of the exam ($119) but also, a stipend of an extra $100 for completing an online test preparation course.

 For those campuses who are already under an ESL waiver and/or BE exception, this is a great opportunity to promote the certification of your teachers now, so that you are covered for this incoming 2022-2023 school year. And for those campuses who are not currently under a waiver or exception, this is also a great opportunity to avoid it in 2022-2023.

 Everybody wins! Teachers get certified with a reimbursement plus a stipend, and campuses start the next school year without the need to apply for waivers! 

Please send this communication to ALL your teachers that don’t currently have their ESL certification, and talk to them personally to invite them to participate.

Here is the information:

  1. Ask teachers to fill out this short survey to indicate their interest in participating.
  2. Register for the state ESL test, send us the receipt, and we will reimburse you immediately!
  3. Register to one of these 3 options for the ESL Supplemental (154) TExES preparation course, send us your certificate of completion, and you will receive your stipend immediately!

New EB Report Design Replaces Previous PVR Reports!

Image
  Hello LPAC teams! We have redesigned the PVR reports (PEIMS verification reports) as well as changed the process to submit PEIMS data changes to our department. Our goal is to streamline the process as much as we can and making it more efficient at the same time. Moving forward we are naming these reports EB Reports (Emergent Bilingual Reports), and within the same report you will be able to request changes if needed, as opposed to having to fill out extra forms. In order to learn all about the new EB Reports as well as how to request changes to the PEIMS data, we have created a comprehensive online tutorial for you to watch at your earliest convenience. After using the new EB report, w e encourage you all to let us know  your thoughts, as well as your recommendations to make this tool even better. At the end of the day, you are the ones using it and your feedback is monumental in creating better solutions for the benefit of everyone. You can click on the image below to access the on
