Title | California Adopts World Language Content Standards |
Body | From http://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr09/yr09rel1.asp SACRAMENTO — State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell today commended the State Board of Education (SBE) for voting to adopt his recommended draft World Language Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten Through Grade Twelve (World Language Content Standards). In 2001, the SBE approved the current Foreign Language Framework for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve, but California Education Code required the Board to adopt content standards for foreign language, based on recommendations from O'Connell on or before June 1, 2009. The content standards are intended to guide schools that offer programs of instruction in languages other than English. A working group representing diverse languages and language programs provided input to the State Superintendent in drafting the standards. Read the full press release for more information at http://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr09/yr09rel1.asp . The Sacramento Bee has an article about the new foreign language standards at http://www.sacbee.com/ourregion/story/1554585.html . The new standards are available on the CLTA website at http://www.clta.net/standards . |
