Spain Honors Ladino in Israel
August 30, 2017
Spain’s Real Academia Española (RAE), the leading authority on the Spanish language, is to establish a special institute in Israel to preserve Ladino—the Judeo-Spanish language of Jewish communities who thrived in Spain before their expulsion in 1492 by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabela, in whose name Columbus claimed the New World of the Americas that same year.

Title: Authentic Spanish Songs with Wholesome Lyrics
Body:
Despacito” is the hit of the summer - but are you comfortable going over the meaning of the lyrics with your teenage students? Sara-Elizabeth Cottrell doesn’t mince words about the way many popular songs talk about relationships and treatment of women: “When compelling becomes our only standard for input, we risk falling into a swamp of the trashy and colossally stupid. And that swamp certainly exists. I do not care if my students are head over heels for a song or a singer, feeding them demeaning, predator-toned lyrics as if they were truth is unacceptable.” Read her blog post for a discussion of the problem and suggestions of songs that suggest more healthy relationships: http://musicuentos.com/2017/09/authresaug-music/

Title: Seven Scenarios to Transform ESL Teachers to Leaders
Body:
From http://www.edcircuit.com/seven-scenarios-transform-esl-teachers-leaders/
Beth Skelton writes, “In the past few years, I have had the opportunity to provide professional development for many English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers. These specialists are now expected to take on more and more roles and be skilled in areas well beyond the classroom. As one principal told me when he began hiring for an ESL teacher, ‘The new ESL teacher can no longer just teach small groups of students in a pullout classroom. I need someone who can reach out to the community, collaborate with the rest of the staff, and provide on-going professional development.’ Another school director in a similar situation told me, ‘ESL teachers are a dime a dozen, but I need an ESL leader. They are few and far between.’ The seven scenarios in this article provide strategies for how school leaders can capitalize on ESL specialists’ strengths and transform these educators into school leaders.
Read on for the seven scenarios: http://www.edcircuit.com/seven-scenarios-transform-esl-teachers-leaders/
