Title: Report: Masking the Focus on English Learners
Body:
From https://www.californianstogether.org
Californians Together's latest report Masking the Focus on English Learners questions the efficacy of the state accountability system in identifying the needs of English Learners accurately. The report states that by combining data from two English Learner subgroups (current and reclassified), the system masks the distinct needs of each subgroup and diminishes the urgency to address the numerous educational needs of current English Learners thus undermining the central equity intent of the Local Control Funding Formula. The report’s strongest recommendation is that the state discontinue aggregating the two subgroups and instead report them separately for analysis and planning.

Title: Jigsaw Activities Appeal to Logical/Mathematical Thinkers
Body:
From http://teachinginthetargetlanguage.com
Laura from the Teaching in the Target Language blog describes a small-group information gap task called the jigsaw: "Have your students work in small groups. Each group member will have a job to do. Give your students a scenario pertaining to a given topic. Each student is responsible for going out and finding specific information, or a particular 'piece of the puzzle.'
"Students should go to the section that has the number they were assigned. Once students arrive in their section of the room (For instance, all '1's are in certain section of the room), students should look at a picture. Students should try to remember as much as possible from the picture. By the way- Each section of the room will have a different picture. Each picture represents a particular 'piece of the puzzle.' Once students have looked at the picture and they think they remember it, they will return to their original groups."
She goes on to give examples of how to use this activity with different topics that students are studying. Read her post at http://teachinginthetargetlanguage.com/the-jigsaw-how-can-we-appeal-to-the-logicalmathematical-learners/
