Resources

New York State Education Department
NYSESLAT Speaking Exemplar and Listening CDs

NYSESLAT Speaking exemplar Listening CDs’ formatting may not play on some CD players.

If your CDs will not play, your district can email NYSESLATscm@grp.pearson.com with a list of staff (and their emails) who require access to digital audio files. In approximately 24 hours the list of staff should receive SharePoint access to NYSESLAT Digital Audio Files. This workaround is intended to be a back-up for schools only if the CD players do not work and is therefore for emergency situations. 

Here are three things you can do to prepare:

• Secure external CD drives for PCs/Laptops

• Prepare the list of staff names and emails that would require digital audio file access, and

• Test Listening CDs as soon as they arrive.
