Title: Denver Public Schools Wants Colorado To Make Training To Teach English Learners Mandatory
Body: From http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_23224739/dps-wants-state-make-training-teach-english-learners DPS wants Colorado to make training to teach English learners mandatory By Zahira Torres May 12, 2013 Colorado has a shortage of teachers with specialized English-learner training, as well as classrooms that may have an insufficient curriculum for teaching the growing population of students who need help with English, according to a report released Tuesday by Gov. John Hickenlooper and Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia. Two DPS board members said the district must take a tougher stance in pushing for changes, including insisting that universities train teachers to work with English learners before they graduate. "When the second-largest district in our state declines to hire graduates from our local universities because they don't meet our qualifications, you can bet that those programs are going to be retooling quickly," board member Andrea Merida said. "We have the political power to insist on the very best for our children." Representatives for teacher training programs, including Metropolitan State University of Denver, said they are not against requiring that teachers have a linguistically diverse endorsement, which is a certification to teach English learners, on their licenses before they graduate. But Metro officials said the school is bound by state requirements that a bachelor's degree in teaching requires no more than 120 hours of course work. A certification to teach English learners requires about 24 credit hours. Universities would have to eliminate other classes to make the certification a requirement for a degree.

Title: Dual Language in Early Education Best for Youngest ELLs, Report Says
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/05/dual_language_in_early_educati.html Dual Language in Early Education Best for Youngest ELLs, Report Says By Lesli A. Maxwell May 14, 2013 Young English-language learners who are still developing oral and literacy skills in their home languages benefit most in early-childhood programs that regularly expose them to both languages. That's one of several major takeaways in a new federally funded analysis of the large, and growing, population of dual-language learners, ranging from birth to 5, already enrolled in, or headed for, early-childhood-education programs. The analysis, released today, also underscores that dual-language learners develop language skills differently than their monolingual, English-speaking peers. Young dual-language learners, who are using two separate language systems, will take longer to reach proficiency in both languages than their peers learning only one. Read the full article at http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/05/dual_language_in_early_educati.html Access the report at http://www.edweek.org/media/policypaper-05-10-13-learning-the-language.pdf
