= Program Overview = The PS 48 Title III After School Program for SY2016-2017 focuses on accelerating the English language acquisition for English Language Learners (ELLs) and at risk immigrant students who may have a home language of English as well. The program centers on developing content knowledge aligned to the New York City Dept. of Education (NYCDOE) social studies and science scope and sequence. This will provide the academic vocabulary and literacy skills to be successful for grade level demands, whether tasks or formative assessments in literacy, in particular for the Spring 2017 NYSESLAT assessment.

Through the program students learn English through hands on science activities. When it's warm, this includes investigating the outdoors, including weather, archeology, gardening, plant life. The program's students hail from across the globe, including Yemen, Ghana, Dominican Republic, China, Puerto Rico, Peru, and Honduras. It will take place at PS 48, the PS 48 garden, and Drake Park.
