Title: Article: Global Learning Scales Up
Body: From http://www.districtadministration.com/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=2716&p=1#0 Global Learning Scales Up Districts build on the success of private, internationally oriented schools and foreign language programs. By Ron Schachter March 2011 Becoming more global is a familiar refrain for many a school administrator or curriculum developer wrestling with delivering 21st century skills. Over the past decade, districts have expanded their foreign language programs, added Mandarin Chinese to the mix, and in some cases launched language immersion classes in their elementary schools. Others have opened entire schools designed around international education. Not only do these schools promote proficiency in one or more foreign languages, but they also embed international perspectives in all content areas, from social studies to the arts, and they make extensive use of online learning to interact with students and teachers in other countries. But while initiatives like these were often regarded as experimental or, at best, unique just a few years ago, a growing number of school districts are taking global learning to the next level by replicating schools with a global bent.

Title: Sign Language Could Be Offered as Foreign Language in Virginia
Body: From http://www2.newsadvance.com/news/2011/mar/02/tdmain01-sign-language-could-be-offered-as-foreign-ar-876734 Sign language could be offered as foreign language By WESLEY P. HESTER March 2, 2011 Last winter, Del. Dickie Bell, R-Staunton, received a letter from a Loudoun Valley High School class seeking help. Dawn Hitchens' American Sign Language students were looking for someone to sponsor legislation on their behalf that would recognize ASL as a foreign language in Virginia's high schools and universities. Bell jumped at the chance. One year later, House Bill 1435, drafted in part by the students, is on its way to Gov. Bob McDonnell. If signed by McDonnell, the legislation, which passed the House and the Senate by overwhelming majorities, would see Virginia join 35 other states in which sign language counts toward the fulfillment of foreign-language requirements at public high schools and state colleges and universities.
