Title: Report on Kansas TESOL/BE Conference
Body: Something very memorable happened at Fort Hays State University, in Hays, Kansas, this weekend. We had 300 people attend our KATESOL/BE 2004 Conference, and we enjoyed interacting all day Saturday with: Jacqueline Boyd (Haskell Indian Nations University), Rebecca Kopriva (C-SAVE, University of Maryland), Stephen Krashen (University of Southern California), Joy Reid (University of Wyoming) and Bill VanPatten (University of Illinois- Chicago). http://www.fhsu.edu/katesol/katesolbe2004report.htm It's hard not to notice that three of these keynote speakers were originally interviewed as part of the online ESL MiniConference project: Steve Krashen, Joy Reid, Bill VanPatten. You can read those interviews in our Achievement Profiles, using the index found at http://www.eslminiconf.net/profiles.html . Now I understand what Carol Gillespie, of Washington State TESOL, meant when she wrote to me about the overwhelming experience she had when, based on the ESL MiniConference interview with Betty Azar, she found the courage to contact Betty Azar and was able to bring her to WATESOL as a keynote speaker. I believe that with KATESOL/BE 2004 I have been able to achieve one goal-- forming a grassroots network of ESL professionals in Kansas--and at the same time move forward with a "bricks" version of the "clicks" project--ESL MiniConference Online. I'm going to let the ESL MiniConference hibernate for a while. The domain name is paid up; I'll keep the Web hosting going, so that this resource remains available to prospective as well as practicing ESL/EFL professionals. And, in a year or two, I will reactivate the monthly e-mail newsletters.

Title: US Education Department Issues New Policy for Calculating Participation Rates Under No Child Left Behind
Body: In an effort to help states implement the No Child Left Behind Act , the U.S. Department of Education recently announced new policies for calculating participation rates -- the percentage of enrolled students who participate in an assessment program.

In addition, students who are unable to take the test during the testing and make-up windows because of a unique, significant medical emergency will not count against the schools participation rate.

Title: County Schools Work to Meet Needs of Latino Learners, NC
Body: There is a growing population of English language learners in Jackson Country Schools in North Carolina. The small numbers make it unfeasible for schools to provide sheltered instruction or bilingual education. Instead, students attend either "pull-out" programs at the elementary school level or an English-as-a-second-language class in high school. According to Alesha McCauley (misspelled in the article as Cauley), North Carolina differs from other states by providing local education agencies the option of structuring their own programs, so that each can meet the needs of their unique situation. All students, though, whose native language is not English must be tested for English language fluency upon enrollment into the North Carolina school system and then again at least once a year to assess their progress. Recently, two meetings for the families of English language learners were held that were deemed a success, thus, in the near future, Paul Strop, the ESL coordinator and migrant recruiter is planning on holding a "community-wide Fiesta Latina."

Title: Software Program Aims to HELP Latinos Learn the Language of Mathematics, CO
Body: Suzie C. Romig reports in the Glenwood Springs Post Independent on new software known as the Help with English Language Proficiency (HELP) program developed by Digital Directions International of Carbondale and Boulder, along with the Roaring Fork School District. This software is meant to assist English language learners with learning concepts and vocabulary in mathematics. According to William J. Moloney, Commissioner of the Colorado Department of Education, the program addresses an important area that is neglected. Particularly of interest, he added, is "HELP's ability to create an online, multi- sensory program, which is fully aligned to Colorado math standards, benchmarks and assessments." Though initially being tested only in Colorado, the distributors hope one day to make it a national program. For more information, contact: Barbara Freeman (303) 704-1017 Email: bfree000@msn.com John Ramo (303) 704-1465 http://www.privatelessons.net (click on the helping hand logo on the left-hand side at the bottom of the page) To read the complete article, visit: http://www.glenwoodindependent.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040314/ VALLEYNEWS/40313010
