Body:
From http://www.edutopia.org/blog/look-inside-classroom-of-future-dana-mortenson
Dana Mortenson writes,
"The challenges today's students will face as tomorrow's leaders will involve working more closely across geographic borders, and with people who have very different backgrounds, beliefs, and experiences. In short, diversity and global citizenship are our common future.
"...Based on our work with more than 2,000 U.S. middle and high school educators on building global competence, following are five core strategies that we've seen educators adopt to effectively create the classroom of the future – a classroom that will build the necessary skills for educating globally competent students, and truly prepare them to thrive as responsible global citizens in the 21st century."

Asian Language Education on the Rise throughout America
by Olivia Waring
December 30, 2014
Though language education overall is being negatively affected by budget cuts, there has been a slow but unmistakable gravitation towards Asian languages among students and educators. At both the primary and secondary school levels, the percentage of schools offering Chinese programs grew by about 3 points between 1997 and 2008, while French and German programs dwindled. Chinese and Japanese Advanced Placement exams were introduced in 2007, and since then, the number of high schools administering AP Chinese and Japanese programs has grown by 253% and 83%, respectively. During this same interval, Spanish witnessed a more modest growth of 14%, and French and German programs declined by 7% and 12%, respectively.

Title: Online Summer Course: Medieval Latin for Teachers
Body:
From http://apaclassics.org/apa-blog/new-online-summer-course-latn-470-medieval-latin-teachers
New Online Summer Course: LATN 470 Medieval Latin for Teachers
This online course shows how the Latin language and genres of writing such as legends, biographies, letters, and poetry developed during the period 500-1500 CE, following the fall of Rome in 476 CE. Thus it provides continuity from the study of ancient Roman culture, prose, and poetry, which spread throughout the empire, was preserved in manuscripts and printed books, and developed in new forms. The course includes reading and translation, an introduction to paleography or handwriting styles in manuscripts, and lesson plans for teaching. It is designed especially for students planning to teach or teachers seeking certification credits in Latin.
Dates Offered: Summer 2015, for six weeks, June 8-July 13, as an online course.
Enrollment Limit: 15
