Title: Article: Utah State Office of Education Is Targeted in Complaint Over ELL Teacher Training
Body: From http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,680195267,00.html State Office of Education is targeted in complaint: Plan unfair to students learning English as 2nd language, activist says By Jennifer Toomer-Cook June 30, 2007 A community activist filed a complaint Friday with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights, claiming the State Office of Education is about to shortchange children learning English as a second language. Michael Clara is a member of a State Office of Education committee examining standards for teachers to earn an endorsement, or extra credentials, to educate students learning English. In his federal complaint, he says the state wants to give kindergarten- through third-grade teachers a shortcut to those credentials by lumping it with a reading endorsement. He fears the state's Reading for English Language Learners plan would lower the quality of education those children receive.

Body: From http://www.startribune.com/106/story/1267511.html New charter bridges Africa and Minnesota: Maple Grove-based Elom Academy is the newest charter school in the west-metro area to focus on the children of African immigrants. By Patrice Relerford June 26, 2007 Whether they're in the cities, suburbs or out-state Minnesota, state Education Commissioner Alice Seagren said the majority of the state's charter schools focus on core academic themes. She said many schools also offer something extra in terms of cultural competency or foreign language courses. But she said these types of charter schools, which overwhelming attract minorities, could work against desegregation efforts in suburban school districts.

Title: Article: The Future of Teaching Arabic K-12 in the U.S. Public Schools
Body: From http://www.arabick12.org/profdev/articles.html The Future of Teaching Arabic K-12 in the U.S. Public Schools by Mrs. Wafaa Maaki of the Dearborn Public Schools, Michigan There is a new trend to teach the Arabic language in the American public schools. The immersion program at the Becker Elementary School, YALLA (Young American Learning Languages Activities), is an excellent model of teaching Arabic. The program began in 1994 and the design of the program included 50% instruction in English and 50% in Arabic. The nine-year review of the program which included classroom observation, parent and teacher surveys and interviews, and data on the students’ academic achievement in pre-kindergarten through fifth grades shows great academic results in both languages.
