Title: New York State Puts Pressure on City Schools Over English Language Learners
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/education/13ell.html State Puts Pressure on City Schools Over English Language Learners By SHARON OTTERMAN October 13, 2011 New York City schools are broadly failing to meet the needs of many of their thousands of students who are still learning English, and they must improve or they may face sanctions, state education officials announced Wednesday. “Clearly the services are poor, and the best indication of that are the student outcomes,” John B. King Jr., the state education commissioner, said in a news conference by video link from Albany. As a measure of the problem, he said, in 2010 only 7 percent of the city’s English language learners were found to have graduated on time and ready for college and careers. In the lower grades, 12 percent were proficient in English and 35 percent in math, well behind city averages. Read the full article at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/13/education/13ell.html

Title: Article: ELL ‘Shadowing’ Shows Promise
Body: From http://www.edweek.org/tsb/articles/2011/10/13/01shadowing.h05.html ELL ‘Shadowing’ Shows Promise Having teachers experience “a day in the life of an English-language learner” can reveal gaps in academic-language exposure. By Liana Heitin October 12, 2011 It’s a professional development tool that stems from the concept of taking a walk in someone else’s—in this case a student’s—shoes. And in one California school, it has reportedly helped close the achievement gap for English-language learners. The technique, which second-language acquisition expert Ivannia Soto began using in 2003, is called ELL shadowing. A teacher or administrator follows an English-language learner to several classes. Neither the student nor his or her teachers know the real reason the observer in the back of the room is there, which is to look specifically at the student’s use of academic language. The observer takes notes at five-minute intervals on the student’s actions regarding listening and speaking. Overall, Soto says, ELLs are missing out in one of two ways: “We’ve either dummied down the curriculum so it’s too easy and students stay at the basic levels of social language, or we keep the rigor but don’t provide appropriate scaffolding so students can access the content.” Read the full article at http://www.edweek.org/tsb/articles/2011/10/13/01shadowing.h05.html
