TitleOnline Catalog Offers ED Resources in Spanish
Body
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) recently updated the link on its home
page (www.ed.gov) for Spanish speakers and others interested in Spanish
language resources for their districts and schools. Developed by the
Department's Information Resource Center (IRC), the Web site includes a
range of education-related information—everything from resources for the
student looking for college financial aid to the foreign teacher interested in
teaching in the US.

Users can access the site through ED's home page by clicking "Recursos en
español" or connect directly at www.ed.gov/espanol/bienvenidos/es.

Some of the Spanish-language resources included are:
* Popular ED publications, including No Child Left Behind: A Parents
Guide;
* The Department's Declaration of Rights for Parents of English Language
Learners Under No Child Left Behind;
* Frequently asked questions on topics such as adult education, careers in
education, federal student aid, applying to college and credentials evaluation
of those with non-U.S. degrees;
* Contact information for ED offices, other federal agencies and non-profit
organizations; and
* Information about resources available from the National Dissemination
Center for Children with Disabilities.

The Web page will be updated frequently with additional resources, including
information on options for parents under NCLB. For more information, contact
1-800-USA-LEARN (1-800-872-5327); Spanish-speaking information
specialists are available from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. E.T.
