Title: 2005 National Migrant Education Conference
Body: Dates: April 3-6, 2005 (pre-conferenceson April 2) Place: Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport, San Francisco, CA Information: Richard Gomez Jr., President National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education (NASDME) Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction Old Capitol Building 600 Washington Street, SE P.O. Box 47200 Olympia, WA 98504 (360) 725-6150 RGomez@ospi.wednet.edu http://www.nasdme.org/ ------------------------------- The National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education welcomes all who are interested in the education of America's migrant children. "Children of the Road" they are called -- the sons and daughters of farm workers who cultivate and harvest the fruits and vegetables we eat every day. Moving from school to school, from state to state, their schooling suffers from repeated interruptions, immersion in unfamiliar surroundings, and constantly changing curricula. The challenge of providing these children with the opportunity to succeed in school and attain the high standards expected of all students is addressed by a Federal program which provides each state with funds to establish supplementary programs to help these children overcome the obstacles inherent in their lifestyle. NASDME is the professional organization of state officials charged with the administrative responsibilities of using these monies effectively and productively to help all migrant children succeed in school. NASDME provides its members ongoing information about events and activities, and offers new members training, guidance and counsel. It prepares publications to inform a wider audience about Migrant Education. It represents the Migrant Education community in continuing dialogues with the Federal government. NASDME annually sponsors a National Migrant Education Conference to provide training, leadership, and networking opportunities for all persons concerned with the education of migrant children.

Title: New Book: Expanding Definitions of Giftedness
Body: From: http://linguistlist.org/issues/15/15-2882.html Subtitle: The Case of Young Interpreters From Immigrant Communities Series Title: A Volume in the Educational Psychology Series Author: Guadalupe Valdes Abstract: This book is about bilingual young people who have been selected by their families to carry out the hard work of interpreting and translating to mediate communication between themselves and the outside world--between minority and majority communities. It examines the experiences of these young interpreters and the skills they develop in order to fulfill this role. The authors' purpose in this volume is to contribute to extending current definitions of gifted and talented, by proposing and offering evidence that the young people who are selected to serve as family interpreters perform at remarkably high levels of accomplishment when compared with others of their age, experience, and environment, and should thus clearly be included in the 1993 U.S. federal definition of giftedness. They maintain that not only are these capabilities currently overlooked by existing assessment procedures, but also that there is little understanding of the ways in which the unique talents of young interpreters might be nurtured and developed in academic settings.
