Why Study Russian? It’s not all politics
by Ivan Savvine
September 10, 2014
There is a popular belief that in the United States, interest in all things Russian and in particular Russian language peaks at times of crisis between the Kremlin and the White House. As someone who has taught Russian in the United States for some time, I can say that my experience has shown that the reasons people study Russian are not so simplistic.

Big-City Districts Delve Into Common-Core Teaching for English-Learners
By Lesli A. Maxwell
September 11, 2014
The common-core standards are dramatically reshaping teaching and learning, but some of the biggest changes are arguably happening for English-language learners and their teachers.
That's because English-learners, no matter their level of proficiency, are expected to engage with demanding content and demonstrate more sophisticated skills with language even when their English is still developing. Those higher expectations, ELL experts say, mean every educator working with English-learners must take responsibility for developing their language.
Most advocates, educators, and researchers agree the shift to the common-core standards is a huge opportunity for ELLs—who represent the fastest growing subgroup of students in K-12—that schools can't afford to squander. …
… For those reasons and others, representatives from some of the country's biggest school systems—which together educate more than 25 percent of ELLs—came together to craft a guide meant to help teachers weave language learning at all proficiency levels with their instruction of rigorous English/language arts standards.
