Title: Education for Adult English-Learners Faltering, Report Asserts
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/07/education_for_adult_ells_falte.html Education for Adult English-Learners Faltering, Report Asserts By Lesli A. Maxwell July 11, 2013 The prevailing system for educating adult English-language learners is falling woefully short in helping students reach proficiency in the language, a new report asserts. With just around 40 percent of adults who are enrolled in English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) courses demonstrating improvement in their proficiency each year, the federal and state-funded adult ESL programs need a major overhaul, argues the Lexington Institute, a conservative public policy think tank based in Arlington, Va. The report—written by Sean Kennedy and John Walters—cites U.S. Census data that 23 million adults in the United States lack "adequate" English proficiency. More than 2 million of those are American-born. That, they argue, is already, and will continue to be, a "severe hindrance for both the economic mobility and assimilation of these immigrants and some native-born Americans, who are trapped in generational linguistic isolation." The main reason for those disappointing outcomes, the report says, is that many adult ESL programs—the majority of them run by government agencies—are not at all designed to meet the needs of the learners themselves.

Title: Supporting English Learners in the Primary Classroom
Body: From https://www.teachingchannel.org/blog/2013/07/10/supporting-english-learners-in-the-primary-classroom Jane Fung, a National Board Certified Teacher in urban Los Angeles, writes “Common Core Standards ask students to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others in math; ask and answer questions about key details in a text; and participate in collaborative conversations about topics and texts. Students are expected to explain their thinking and build on others’ talk in conversation. “But what if your students don’t speak English? “When teachers shift into Common Core Standards mode this fall, we must remember that although the standards are common, the students we teach are not. “As a former English learner (EL) and a teacher of ELs, I know the challenges our EL students face. And the stakes are higher today then they have ever been. How do we ensure that our EL students not only gain access to the core curriculum but also succeed in meeting standards like their native-speaker counterparts? “Many teachers working with ELs have experienced little or no preparation or professional development for this challenging task. Here’s a quick guide to classroom elements that matter in supporting EL achievement.” Read on at https://www.teachingchannel.org/blog/2013/07/10/supporting-english-learners-in-the-primary-classroom

Title: ELLs Need More Attention in Common Assessment Groups, Reports Say
Body: From http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/learning-the-language/2013/07/ells_need_more_attention_in_co.html ELLs Need More Attention in Common Assessment Groups, Reports Say by Lesli A. Maxwell July 8, 2013 The two groups of states working to design new common assessments need to devote more time and attention to English-language learners and students with disabilities, conclude new reviews from the U.S. Department of Education. In its first-ever technical reviews of the test-development efforts underway by two state consortia—the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC, and Smarter Balanced—the federal education department is calling for both groups to focus more sharply on developing test items that all students, including those who are still learning English, can fully access regardless of their level of language proficiency.

Title: Fifteen Uses for Mini Whiteboards
Body: From http://www.thefrenchcorner.net Middle school French teacher Samantha Decker writes, “I love using mini whiteboards in my classroom because I see my students automatically become more invested in an activity when they have the opportunity to write on a whiteboard. It's also a great way to formatively assess students all at once. That said, a little goes a long way and sometimes students can get bored if you don't change up what you're doing every time you bring out the whiteboards. “Any of these activities in my list below could be done as a whole-class activity, with the teacher or a student volunteer doing the speaking, or a pair or small group activity, with students taking turns being the teacher (in some cases you may need to make up envelopes with cards to read). These activities are best for practicing listening or writing skills, but a lot of them could be done as oral exercises as well by eliminating the white boards.” Read on for Ms. Decker’s activity ideas: http://www.thefrenchcorner.net/2013/07/15-uses-for-mini-whiteboards.html
