Targeted Instructional Practices to Enhance ELL Performance on the NYS English Language Arts Regents
No full textEnglish Language Learners (ELLs) face significant challenges on the New York State English Language Arts (ELA) Regents Exam, a high-stakes assessment that is often a barrier to graduation. This capstone project explores how educators can better support ELLs in meeting the demands of the Regents through a three-part professional development (PD) series. The PD sessions focused on data analysis, collaborative reflection, and strategy refinement, enabling teachers to identify key reasons why ELLs struggle. Some of the main issues come from vocabulary demands, cultural disconnect, test anxiety, and limited relatability of exam content. Findings reveal that ELLs disproportionately underperform on the ELA Regents, directly impacting their ability to graduate on time. Through targeted instructional support and increased awareness, teachers can implement scaffolding techniques, culturally responsive practices, and test-taking strategies to mitigate these challenges. This project underscores the importance of empowering educators with tools and insights to foster more equitable outcomes for multilingual learners.Rosa Mazurett-Boyl

The School to Prison Pipeline
No full textThe topic of this paper is the school to prison pipeline. It will describe what this concept is, the systems that uphold it, and opportunities to change it. In researching this topic, it was important to understand how mental health counselors can affect change and advocate against the school to prison pipeline.Mass incarceration of Black and Brown people in America has been ongoing unjustly for a significant amount of time. It is important that counselors use their power and privilege to speak on one of the systems that supports this, especially those who are more privileged than others.Robert Dobmeie

How can co-teaching benefit ELLs in a secondary health class?
No full textThis capstone project examines how co-teaching may support English Language Learners (ELLs) in a secondary health classroom, where health is a required course for high school graduation in New York State. While co-teaching is commonly used in core academic subjects, its presence in health education remains limited. Grounded in Sociocultural Theory and Universal Design for Learning (UDL), this study addresses the overarching question, how can co-teaching benefit ELLs in a secondary health class? The literature review identifies three thematic challenges: limited linguistic support in content instruction, minimal collaboration between TESOL and content-area educators, and a lack of differentiated instructional strategies for ELLs. In response, a two-day professional development (PD) program is created for secondary health and TESOL teachers, as well as all other educators in the school. The PD includes co-teaching models, collaborative planning tools, and strategies for integrating language scaffolds into health instruction. Learning goals focus on exploring co-teaching frameworks, planning inclusive lessons, and increasing educator collaboration. The project outlines expected outcomes related to professional learning and instructional practice, and concludes with considerations for future studies on co-teaching in non-core subjects and the academic experiences of ELLs.Rosa Mazurett-Boyl
