Title: South Pasadena School Board Considers Dual Language Immersion Program
Body: From http://www.mercurynews.com/california/ci_20596280/south-pasadena-school-board-considers-dual-language-immersion South Pasadena school board considers dual language immersion program By Lauren Gold May 10, 2012 School Board President Joe Loo hopes he can bring a dual language immersion program to the South Pasadena Unified District. Loo broached the subject at Tuesday's school board meeting, hoping to introduce the idea for consideration and gauge the opinions of the other board members. He said he thinks the program would help students be more successful in all areas of study. Though no action was taken Tuesday, Superintendent Joel Shapiro said the discussion was productive, and provided insight into board leanings on the issue. If it chooses to implement the immersion program, SPUSD would not be the first district to do so in the San Gabriel Valley. Pasadena has offered elementary dual immersion at San Rafael and Field Elementary Schools since 2009 and will add a third site next year. PUSD Spokesman Adam Wolfson said the program has not only helped students improve academically, but has also drawn new families into the district.

Title: University of Colorado at Boulder To Pilot Four-Year German PhD
Body: From http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/05/02/proposed-phd-german-colorado-aims-halve-time-degree Humanities Ph.D. in 4 Years by Mitch Smith May 2, 2012 Beginning next fall, students at the University of Colorado at Boulder can earn a Ph.D. in German studies in about half the time it might take to earn that degree elsewhere. The program has been approved by campus administrators and the Board of Regents and is likely to be finalized at the state higher education commission’s meeting this week. The goal is to have students in and out in four years, Professor Ann Schmiesing said. Colorado’s program, which has been in development for almost half a decade, will admit two students a year and pair them with faculty mentors. Students will spend two years focused on classwork, one year doing research (perhaps in Germany) and the final year writing their dissertation. … The difference is in a lighter teaching burden and one-on-one mentoring, allowing more focus on classroom work earlier on in the program and more guidance on research and the dissertation. Colorado administrators and others believe the program could be a model elsewhere, both in German and other humanities disciplines.
