Body:
From http://www.aatg.org/?page=STEMArticulation
The American Association of Teachers of German has grant monies from the German government’s Netzwerk Deutsch program to fund five articulation projects in 2015. Eligible applicants are coalitions of middle school, high school and post-secondary teams or coalitions of high school and post-secondary teams. Project proposals must focus on developing and strengthening the connection between German and science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects and providing the professional development necessary for German teachers to create and deliver STEM-based units of study.
Grants of up to $2,500 will be awarded to teams that demonstrate expertise in curriculum development and implementation and a clear ability to create instructional materials that can be shared with colleagues. Materials resulting from the grant should show a clear progression of content knowledge and increasing language proficiency.
The deadline for proposal submission is June 30, 2015.

Title: Ciné Club Meeting in Portland
Body:
From http://www.afportland.org/2015/04/psucineclub/
The 1st Ciné Club Discussion will be held at the Alliance Française de Portland on May 29, 2015, in English (6:15- 7:15pm) and in French (7:30-8:30pm).
Une Affaire de femmes (Claude Chabrol, 1988) raises many issues in the context of France’s Occupation by the Nazis during WWII: national identity, collaboration, food scarcity. But will you be able to tell if Marie, the main character of the movie, is good or evil, the victim of a conservative government or an opportunist?
Watch the movie and come discuss these questions and more with Annabelle Dolidon, Professor of French at Portland State University.

Title: Brief: Better Policy for Dual Language Learners
Body:
From http://www.newamerica.org/downloads/Better_Policies_For_DLLs.pdf
Better Policy for Dual Language Learners was written by Conor P. Williams for New America and released in February 2015. It is the result of a convening of leading experts on dual language learners that took place in December 2014. The experts discussed these three questions: (1) What are the key best practices for dual language learner instruction, policy, and research?; (2) What are the areas of substantive agreement on best practices? How can we convert this into meaningful policy reform?; (3) Are there areas where dual language learner stakeholders substantively disagree to such a degree that it impeded progress?
This brief summarizes the convening event and synthesizes the core messages from the discussions that took place there.
