Title: Summer Seminar: Medieval and Early Modern Islamic Iberia
Body: Medieval and Early Modern Islamic Iberia An NEH Four-Week Summer Seminar for School Teachers July 18-August 12, 2011 This four-week National Endowment Summer Seminar for School Teachers conducted in Spanish and held in Spain covers the cultural history of Islamic Iberia. It seeks to provide a series of unique cultural perspectives on both the role of Islam and Islamic culture in European history, as well as upon the complex multicultural civilization that flourished for nearly a millennium in what is present-day Spain and Portugal. The seminar integrates the study of Islam in its western Iberian context to understand a crucial but little-known period for Americans in European, but especially Spanish, history that continues to inform the historical present. The travel itinerary includes visits to Valencia, Granada, Seville, Córdoba, Toledo, Xátiva, Teruel, and Albarracín, among other places. NEH provides a $3,300 stipend to successful applicants.

Title: Article: The Problem? English. Could the Cure Be Spanish?
Body: From http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/education/schooled/article_2e4e4ba2-f366-11df-bb5c-001cc4c002e0.html The Problem? English. Could the Cure Be Spanish? by Emily Alpert November 18, 2010 Nearly 40 percent of English learners in San Diego Unified fail to become fluent by the time they reach middle school. Now, schools are starting to eye them, zeroing in on what holds them back. Pacific Beach Middle School is testing one way to tackle their needs, a way that might seem odd at first glance. To help seventh and eighth graders who still struggle with English, it is bulking up their skills in both Spanish and English. They take an extra class that teaches them Spanish vocabulary and grammar, then ties it back to what they're learning in English.
