From http://www.meetup.com/Boston-Active-Latin/?scroll=true
From the Boston Active Latin Meetup group:
This group is for anyone interested in learning to speak Latin, whether you're a complete tiro (beginner), an advanced speaker, or a teacher/student who has learned about Latin in school but would like to try it conversationally. We'll work together to provide a number of different experiences, including weeknight coffee hours, beginners' workshops, intermediate and advanced speaker symposia, and weekend cultural events like museum visits, city tours, or hiking. Our goal is to provide frequent opportunities for conversation in Latin, with a wide range of speakers so that everyone's skill can improve.

“On the Shoulders of Giants”: Greco-Roman Giants and their Modern Emulators
The organizers of the 2014 C.A.N.E. Summer Institute invite you to join us this summer as we examine some of the striking examples of the vitality and adaptability of the ancient models from the fields of literature, history, art and science; we will see that those who stand on such shoulders, though thereby “seeing further,” have often proven themselves to be a great deal more than “dwarfs.” Whether you are a middle school, high school or college teacher of Latin and/or Greek, English, History, or other related disciplines, an undergraduate or graduate student, or a devoted lifelong learner, you will enjoy an enriching educational experience that includes a wide variety of mini-courses, lectures, workshops, and special events while also offering ample opportunity for collegial interaction between participants.

Title: ELLs' Literacy Improved Under GLAD, Study Finds

ELLs' Literacy Improved Under Popular Instructional Model, Study Finds
By Lesli A. Maxwell
March 7, 2014
The first phase of a multiyear evaluation of an instructional approach used by teachers with large numbers of English-learners in their mainstream classrooms found that literacy outcomes for ELLs improved, and their progress did not come at the expense of their English-proficient peers.
The experimental study of Project GLAD—or Guided Language Acquisition and Development—was conducted by researchers at Education Northwest, and involved more than 2,000 5th-grade students in 30 Idaho elementary schools. Project GLAD is used by nearly 50,000 teachers in 13 states, and has been especially popular in schools on the West Coast.
Early results from the randomized, controlled trial showed that English-learners in classrooms where Project GLAD was used by teachers performed better in reading comprehension and vocabulary and they scored higher for ideas they used in their essays and how they organized their writing than their ELL peers who were in non-Project GLAD classrooms. Their performance, however, did not catch up to that of their English-proficient peers, the results showed.
