Title: Arizona Grades Teachers on Fluency
Body: From http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703572504575213883276427528.html?mod=dist_smartbrief Arizona Grades Teachers on Fluency State Pushes School Districts to Reassign Instructors With Heavy Accents or Other Shortcomings in Their English By MIRIAM JORDAN April 30, 2010 As the academic year winds down, Creighton School Principal Rosemary Agneessens faces a wrenching decision: what to do with veteran teachers whom the state education department says don't speak English well enough. The Arizona Department of Education recently began telling school districts that teachers whose spoken English it deems to be heavily accented or ungrammatical must be removed from classes for students still learning English. State education officials say the move is intended to ensure that students with limited English have teachers who speak the language flawlessly. But some school principals and administrators say the department is imposing arbitrary fluency standards that could undermine students by thinning the ranks of experienced educators.

Title: University of Arkansas Cuts Core Curriculum, Eliminating Foreign-Language Requirement
Body: U. of Arkansas Cuts Core Curriculum, Eliminating Foreign-Language Requirement May 2, 2010 In response to a new state law aimed at easing the transfer of students from two-year to four-year institutions, the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville is reducing the general-education requirements that all students in its Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences must complete, regardless of their majors, from 66 credit hours to 35, the Associated Press reported. The changes eliminate a foreign-language requirement, reduce science requirements, and require only college algebra, which the college's dean, William Schwab, characterized as "high school-level stuff." Mr. Schwab met with language faculty members last month to reassure them that he intended to minimize the new requirements' impact on their departments.

Title: Teaching by Texting Starts to Take Hold
Body: From http://www.aolnews.com/tech/article/teaching-by-texting-starts-to-take-hold/19459259 Teaching by Texting Starts to Take Hold by Karen Schwartz May 2, 2010 Texting can be a teaching tool. That's what some believe. So, for subjects ranging from Spanish to science, from homework help to exam reminders, teachers around the country are beginning to allow students to text in class. Spanish teacher Katie Titler, 30, required her students at Pulaski High School near Green Bay, Wis., to have their parents sign a permission slip before they could use a cell phone in class. Parents had a few choices: They could opt out, allow the phone to be used only for recording speaking assignments or allow full cell phone use, including texting. To ensure that all students can participate, Titler has them work in pairs to text in complete answers in Spanish to questions such as, "What is your favorite board game and why?" She uses the website Poll Everywhere, which allows her to project the anonymous replies to the entire class. The students then collectively check them for grammar and spelling. "Being able to text in class is just something new and in a way rejuvenates us because it is not the usual 'take notes, then do homework,' like we do in the rest of our classes," 16-year-old Pulaski student Kevin Dunford said. "It's a new flavor." Read the full article at http://www.aolnews.com/tech/article/teaching-by-texting-starts-to-take-hold/19459259

Title: Article: Preserving the Lushootseed Language for the Next Generation
Body: From http://crosscut.com/2010/05/06/tribes/19787/Preserving-the-Lushootseed-language-for-the-next-generation Preserving the Lushootseed language for the next generation: Once spoken by thousands of Coast Salish people in this area, Lushootseed was almost lost. Now the battle to save and revive the language is making progress. By Holly Taylor May 6, 2010 Lushootseed tribal language teachers, students, and advocates from around Puget Sound gathered at a conference on Saturday (May 1) to celebrate the rich cultural inheritance of their Puget Salish language, but also to assess the language's chances of survival in the 21st century. The conference, hosted by Seattle University, was guided by the idea that today's Lushootseed speakers are taking care of the language for the next generation. Today, few elders remain who learned Lushootseed as a first language. Tribes are working hard to make sure that the language survives, and the next few years will be critical if the language is to be revitalized to the point that children become and remain fluent speakers. Saturday's Lushootseed conference offered a forum for teachers and students to talk about how they can share resources, from curriculum to computer programs, and what strategies can best shore up the vulnerable language.
