Title: Parents Fight to Keep Bilingual Schools Open
Body: From http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/78657582.html Parents fight to keep bilingual schools open By Georgia Pabst December 6, 2009 Parents at two largely Latino, bilingual schools - one on Milwaukee's south side and one in Waukesha - are waging battles to save their schools. Although Kagel and White Rock elementary schools stand 18 miles apart in separate counties, the debates at both fit into the larger, national philosophical issues about bilingualism, small schools vs. large schools, economic pressures on school districts and changing demographics. This demographic trend of linguistically diverse populations, especially those who speak Spanish, will continue, said Martin Scanlan, an assistant professor for educational policy and leadership at Marquette University. Schools that view language as an asset as opposed to something that has to be compensated for generally develop better and more successful bilingual programs, especially dual bilingual programs that include all students, he said. Research also shows that students in small schools that are more connected to parents and build community connections are more successful, he said. That's especially true in Latino families who are more mobile and marginalized, he said. Read the full article at http://www.jsonline.com/news/milwaukee/78657582.html

Title: Law Students Help Get Permission to Translate Children’s Books into Ojibwe and Dakota
Body: From http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_13891149?nclick_check=1 Saved in translation An American Indian language-immersion program is getting a boost from William Mitchell law students, who are helping to get legal permission to translate children's books. By Adam Spencer November 29, 2009 Resources for American Indian language-immersion classes are in short supply, but thanks to the work of local law students, legally translated children's books are on the rise. In the past, the Alliance of Early Childhood Professionals translated children's books on their own, taping Indian translations over English type. Now, the translated versions are being published. "When they're published books, it makes (Dakota and Ojibwe) equal languages," said Joe Sisokaduta, a Dakota speaker who helps translate books. The makeshift books seemed to devalue the languages, Sisokaduta said. Read the full article at http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_13891149?nclick_check=1
