Paige Outlines No Child Left Behind Act's "Ten Key Benefits for Parents of English Language Learners"

U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige and Deputy Under Secretary of
Education Maria Hernandez Ferrier today kicked off the department's second annual summit on English language acquisition by unveiling a new initiative to help parents play a more active role in their child's education.
"Ten Key Benefits for Parents of English Language Learners" is a summary of the No Child Left Behind Act's most important provisions that affect the nation's approximately five million English language learners. The department's goal is to provide a copy of the document to all parents so that they can fully understand and benefit from the No Child Left Behind Act.
Under the No Child Left Behind Act, parents of English language learners can expect:
1. To have their child receive a quality education and be taught by a
highly qualified teacher.
2. To have their child learn English and other subjects such as
reading-language arts and math at the same academic level as all other
students.
3. To know if their child has been identified and recommended for
placement in an English language acquisition program, and to accept or
refuse such placement.
4. To choose a different English language acquisition program for their child.
5. To transfer their child to another school if his or her school is
identified as "in need of improvement."
6. To apply for supplemental services for their child, such as tutoring, if the child's school is identified as "in need of improvement" for two years.
7. To have their child tested annually to assess his or her progress in English language acquisition.
8. To receive information regarding their child's performance on academic tests.
9. To have their child taught with programs that are scientifically proven to work.
10. To have the opportunity for their child to reach his or her greatest academic potential.
"Parents of English language learners, like all parents, want the best
possible education for their child," Secretary Paige said. "With the
historic No Child Left Behind reforms, we have the framework to ensure that ll children receive a quality education. Unfortunately, parents of English language learners often face cultural and linguistic obstacles to becoming fully involved in their child's education. That's why we've created a new guide to help parents understand the benefits of the No Child Left Behind Act. We want all English language learners to succeed in school and have the same opportunity to build a life of hope and opportunity.
"Immigrants come to this country seeking a better life for their family. No
Child Left Behind helps these parents become more involved in their child's educational outcome, thus helping to fulfill the dreams of parent and child alike. Each of these ten benefits will help parents take an active, involved role-because if they know what to expect for their child, they will be in a much better position to help their child succeed in school."
Secretary Paige unveiled the initiative as he kicked off "Celebrate our Rising Stars," the department's second annual summit on English language acquisition, which brings together more than 1,500 of the nation's educators, policy makers and parents. This year's theme is "Success in School: Everyone's Responsibility-Every Child's Right," and the conference runs through Dec. 4 at the Hilton Washington in Washington.

Title: 2004 Pathways to Bilingualism
Body: From: "sm167"
CALL FOR PAPERS
DEADLINE 2/1/04
Pathways to Bilingualism:
Evolving Perspectives on Immersion Education
October 21-23, 2004
Radisson-Metrodome Hotel
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
Featured Speakers: Fred Genesee, Kathryn Lindholm-Leary, Roy Lyster, Myriam Met, Merrill Swain
The Immersion Projects at the Center for Advanced Research on Language
Acquisition (CARLA) at the University of Minnesota and conference planning committee members are seeking proposals for papers, discussion sessions, and symposia on all aspects of immersion education for Pathways to Bilingualism. This second international conference on immersion education will be held October 21-23, 2004 at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. In addition to basic, applied and evaluation research, conference organizers welcome a range of practitioner perspectives including
immersion teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, and specialists who work in immersion programs. Papers, discussion sessions, and symposia may report on data-based research, theoretical and conceptual analyses, or best practices in language immersion education.
This conference on immersion education aims to bring together immersion teachers, researchers, and other professionals to initiate and sustain meaningful dialogue across languages, levels, program models and sociopolitical contexts. Targeted K-16 contexts include: foreign language immersion in the more commonly taught and less commonly taught languages, dual language immersion, and immersion for linguistic and cultural revitalization involving heritage and indigenous populations. Each of these educational programs embraces the concept of additive bilingualism-- the acquisition of a second language while continuing to develop the first.
The conference will focus on four broad themes: Program Design and
Development, Assessment and Program Evaluation, Immersion Pedagogy and
Language Development, and Policy and Advocacy.
The priority deadline for submission of proposals for papers and symposia is February 1, 2004. Submission guidelines will soon be available on the CARLA website at: http://www.carla.umn.edu/conferences/immersion/index.html
For further information, email the conference planning committee at:

Title: Endangered Language Fund (ELF) Proposals
Body: From: Endangered Language Fund (elf@haskins.yale.edu) The Endangered Language Fund, which provides small grants for language maintenance and linguistic field work, is now requesting proposals for its 2004 round of grants. The work most likely to be funded is that which serves both the native community and the field of linguistics. Work which has immediate applicability to one group and more distant application to the other will also be considered. Publishing subventions are a low priority, although they will be considered. Proposals can originate in any country. The language involved must be in danger of disappearing within a generation or two. Endangerment is understood to be a continuum, and the location on the continuum is one factor in ELF's funding decisions. Eligible expenses include consultant fees, tapes, films, travel, etc. Overhead is not allowed. Grants are normally for one year periods, though extensions may be applied for. Grants in this round are expected to be less than $4,000 in size, and to average about $2,000. There is no application form, but the information requested below should be provided in four copies. (1) The first page should contain: --title of the project --name of language; country in which it is spoken --name of primary researcher --address (with phone and e-mail if possible) --Social Security number (if US citizen) --place and date of birth --present position, education, and native language(s) --previous experience and/or publications that are relevant. The same information should be provided for collaborating researchers, if any. This information may continue onto a second page. (2) Beginning on a separate page, provide a description of the project. This should normally take two pages, single spaced, but the maximum is five pages. Be detailed about the type of material that is to be collected and/or produced, and the value it will have to the native community (including relatives and descendants who do not speak the language) and to linguistic science. Give a brief description of the state of endangerment of the language in question. (3) On a separate page, prepare an itemized budget that lists expected costs for the project. Estimates are acceptable, but they must be realistic. Please translate the amounts into US dollars. List other sources of support you are currently receiving or expect to receive and other applications that relate to the current one. Two letters of support are recommended, but not required. Note that these letters, if sent separately, must arrive on or before the deadline (April 20th, 2004) in order to be considered. If more than two letters are sent, only the first two received will be read. A researcher can be primary researcher on only one proposal. Applications should be printed (on one side only) and **four copies** mailed to: The Endangered Language Fund Dept. of Linguistics Yale University P. O. Box 208366 New Haven, CT 06520-8366 USA The street address for express mail services is: The Endangered Language Fund Department of Linguistics 370 Temple Street Yale University New Haven, CT 06511 Applications must be mailed in. No e-mail or fax applications will be accepted. Please note that regular mail, especially from abroad, can take up to four weeks. Applications must be received by **April 20th, 2004**. Decisions will be delivered by the end of May, 2004. Receipt of application will be made by e-mail if an email address is given. Otherwise, the applicant must include a self-addressed post-card in order to receive the acknowledgment.
