As an Associate Professor for the Touro University TESOL/BLE Department, I am immensely proud to feature outstanding student work from our MS in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Program. New York’s linguistic diversity demands teachers who can find common ground and effectively communicate with students from different language backgrounds. Academically rigorous and practice-intensive, the 33-credit program leads candidates who complete all coursework, and fieldwork to recommendation for ESL certification.
Carly Croteau graduated from SUNY New Paltz in 2021 with a Bachelor of Science in Early Childhood and Childhood Education, concentrating in Spanish and minoring in Deaf Studies. Throughout her tenure at SUNY New Paltz, she was a committed varsity student athlete, playing for the field hockey team and serving as a three-year captain for the program. In September 2022, she began teaching fourth grade and started to work towards a Master of Science in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
