Simmons March 19, 2010 Following months of debate, plans to create the first Hebrew-language charter school in California got the go-ahead this week, after modifications to the charter helped to allay concerns that the institution would violate separation of church and state. On Wednesday, trustees for the William S. Hart Union High School District unanimously approved the establishment of the Albert Einstein Academy for Letters, Arts and Sciences, which will open this fall in the Santa Clarita Valley.

Title: Article: How Global Language Learning Gives Students the Edge
Body: From http://www.edutopia.org/global-language-learning How Global Language Learning Gives Students the Edge Learning foreign languages boosts brain development, bridges cultural connections, and gives us an economic edge. So why isn't it a priority in public schools? by Dan Fost April 2010 We are at a pivotal point in what is increasingly called world-language education, poised to regain a measure of competitiveness with innovative tools and programs that promote crosscultural understanding. But unless we shed our reluctance to speak any language other than English, the potential of this renaissance may not take hold, and we could lose our edge. New methods and technologies are opening up incredible opportunities in this realm, providing real-world connections with those speaking other languages, thus motivating students to learn to communicate in a foreign language. To that end, wired schools are using high-tech tools -- mostly free, like Skype and Google Talk -- that make it easy to connect students with their counterparts in other countries. And government funding is creating opportunities for student-exchange programs.

Body: From http://leaderadvertiser.com/news/article_0ccac49c-3764-11df-b08f-001cc4c03286.html New push begins to save Salish language by David Flores March 24, 2010 In an effort to revitalize the Salish language, members of the Salish Tribe are holding monthly meetings to discuss reorganization of language teaching and initiatives to encourage use of the native language. During the fifth meeting, held March 3 at the Salish-Pend d'Oreille culture committee building, a plan of action was submitted for elder approval. Attendees of the March meeting discussed six points: collaborating and organizing efforts to teach the Salish language, integrating Salish into everyday life, educating the core of tribal government and the media about the importance of the language, gaining funding for language teaching programs, using Salish in education systems and identifying community strengths.

Title: Call for Participation - Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan
Body: The University of Michigan Library is pleased to invite your participation in our CLIR-funded project, "Collaboration in Cataloging: Islamic Manuscripts at Michigan," by way of their newly launched project website: http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic The project website provides access to bibliographic records and digital images of the Islamic manuscripts; facilitates the gathering of informative and insightful commentary from scholars on campus, across the country, and around the world; and exposes in real time the dynamic enrichment of bibliographic information as project staff, scholars, and other contributors interact with the system. By involving the widest possible scholarly community in the iterative enrichment of manuscript descriptions, the project makes the best possible use of collective expertise that will help to overcome the challenges inherent in traditional manuscript cataloguing. The Islamic Manuscripts Collection at the University of Michigan contains approximately 1,100 manuscript volumes mainly in Arabic, Persian, and Turkish and dating from roughly the 8th to the 20th century CE. A limited amount of descriptive information for the manuscripts has already been gathered and converted to preliminary records in our online library catalogue. Likewise, the manuscripts are being digitized with their digital versions appearing in the Hathi Trust Digital Library. The existing descriptive information is currently being enhanced as the project cataloguer and staff examine the manuscripts (both physically and in the digital environment) and use a research approach to assemble as rich and analytical a description as possible for each manuscript. You are invited to join the project in the examination and description of the manuscripts and submit the results of your analysis as comments via our project website. Your contributions will be reviewed by the project cataloguer and refashioned for incorporation into the cataloguing records for the manuscripts you examine. Additionally, your contribution will be recognized both on the site and in the record for the manuscript that appears in our library catalogue. The project organizers look forward to seeing your comments posted to the project site and thank you in advance for your valuable contribution to this project. More information on the project is available here: http://www.lib.umich.edu/special-collections-library/clir-islamic-manuscripts-project You may browse records of all the manuscripts in the catalogue at: http://mirlyn.lib.umich.edu/Search/Home?filter%5B%5D=location%3ASPEC%20ISLM&page=1&use_dismax=1 Please forward any questions, comments, and/or suggestions to project staff at islamic.manuscripts@umich.edu .
