Title: Wanted: A National Teacher Supply Policy for Education: The Right Way to Meet the "Highly Qualified Teacher" Challenge
Body: From: "Keiko Schneider"
Wanted: A National Teacher Supply Policy for Education: The Right Way
to Meet the "Highly Qualified Teacher" Challenge
http://epaa.asu.edu/epaa/v11n33/
Part of George W. Bush's new No Child Left Behind Act requires that a
"highly qualified teacher" must be present in all classrooms. Teacher
quality has long been an area of interest for scholars in the field of
education. The paper begins by examining three common
misunderstandings about teacher issues, then proceeds to discuss issues affecting teachers such as job satisfaction, retention rates, and the increasing shortages in certain subject areas.

Title: LANGUAGE IN DANGER
Body: From: The Washington Post LANGUAGE IN DANGER The Loss of Linguistic Diversity And the Threat to Our Future By Andrew Dalby Columbia Univ. 329 pp. $27.95 from the Washingtion Post: ...There are, concludes Dalby, "three overriding reasons why we need to stop losing languages." First, "we need the knowledge that they preserve and transmit." Second, "we need other languages for the insights they give us into the way things may be -- we need them for those alternative world views." Third, "we need a multiplicity of languages because it is interaction with other languages that keeps our own language flexible and creative." By the end of Language in Danger, most readers will likely agree with Dalby's analysis.

Title: Penn-Leiden Colloquia on Ancient Values III
Body: From: American Philological Association http://www.apaclassics.org/ First Announcement and Call for Papers The topic of the third colloquium, to be held at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands, June 4-5, 2004, will be: City and Countryside in the Ancient Imagination The ancient (like the modern) imagination often envisages city and countryside as the sites of polar values: the city is often routinely seen as the symbolic center of decadence and depravity, when opposed to the authenticity and purity of the countryside. On the other hand, in a similarly polarized construction, the city may represent the locus of sophistication and civilization, in contrast to the boorishness "rusticity" and lack of refinement associated with the countryside. Such polarities may find expression or are allegedly detected in linguistic usage, rhetorical strategies, or in debates that pit culture against nature, or primitivism against progressivism. For this third colloquium, therefore, we invite abstracts for papers (30 minutes) on all aspects of our proposed topic, especially those that address the perennial tensions between country and city as expressions of lived value-systems. Selected papers will be considered for publication by Brill Publishers. Those interested in presenting a paper are requested to submit a 1-page abstract, by email (preferable) or regular mail, before November 21st, 2003.

Title: Speaking Your Mind / Minding Your Speech in Classical Antiquity
Body: From:American Philological Association http://www.apaclassics.org/ Speaking Your Mind / Minding Your Speech in Classical Antiquity CALL FOR PAPERS University of Southern California, Department of Classics Graduate Student Conference 20-21 February 2004 A graduate conference in the Dept. of Classics at Princeton University March 5-7, 2004 Keynote Speakers: Ellen Oliensis, University of California at Berkeley Ralph Rosen, University of Pennsylvania Whether a society espouses "freedom of speech" as the right of all or the privilege of the few, the articulation of this concept rarely (if ever) aligns with its practice. Every individual and group must navigate multiple levels of constraint imposed upon expression, whether these are explicitly prescribed by an authoritative body or enshrined through convention and decorum. Similarly, agents must negotiate changes in historical circumstance that affect the laws and customs surrounding different kinds of self-expression, including speech, behavior, dress, and aesthetics. We invite papers that explore the freedoms and limitations that agents encountered in the ancient Mediterranean world. Possible topics include theories of free speech; self-expression that is hidden by necessity (e.g. magic and mysticism); ways in which speakers try to achieve their ends by modifying their expression in response to political, religious, and social constraints, including gender, class, and morality; the social contexts of these constraints; and historical watersheds in the regulation of expression. The problem of freedom of expression is not confined to history. We are living in a time when First Amendment protections have come under renewed scrutiny; limits explicitly or implicitly imposed upon public action and private expression emphasize both the power of personal expression and the struggle to control it. Following the presentation of papers, we will host a roundtable discussion chaired by Josiah Ober to consider ancient responses in light of contemporary issues.Please send anonymous abstracts of up to 500 words by October 31, 2003 to: Dept. of Classics ATTN: Graduate Conference 141 East Pyne Princeton University Princeton, NJ 08544. Provide your paper title, name, institution, department, mailing address, phone number, and email address on a separate sheet.

Title: NAME Conference in Seattle November 5-9
Body: From: wsame@mindspring.com
Seattle, WA - The National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME) is hosting its Thirteenth Annual Conference, "From Rhetoric to Reality: Student Achievement in Multicultural Societies," in Seattle, Washington November 5 -9th, 2003 at the Sheraton Seattle Hotel & Towers. Educators, administrators, parents, students and other individuals who want to assure that no child is left behind are encouraged to attend.
NAME addresses social justice and diversity in all levels of education. NAME believes that recognizing the multiple perspectives, histories, contributions, and experiences of many students and their communities increases opportunities for success of diverse students. "If we do not address issues of diversity in every aspect of education, we will perpetuate a system of unequal achievement," said Jill Moss Greenberg, executive director of NAME.
Measures of academic achievement continue to show that students of color, students from low-income families, and students with disabilities are not achieving at the same level as their classmates. Many students are not achieving the academic competence necessary to compete successfully in a highly competitive business environment.
Research strongly supports the importance of drawing on students' cultures and prior experiences to support their success. Presentations will focus on student learning in a policy context, comparative approaches across groups and/or countries, and strategies for institutional change. School-wide programs and classroom curricula that are culturally responsive, address cultural biases, and reduce conflict will be included.
NAME welcomes everyone to attend the conference and explore information, networks, tools and strategies for increasing student achievement. Participants will learn how to reach minority students from early childhood to higher education.
"I have understood the difference in curriculum development between the lip service to the issue of diversity and the profound transformation of curriculum that makes a difference to our students," said Mijo Pappas-Delachaume, previous NAME attendee and French teacher at Green Hills School, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
Join NAME for general sessions including multicultural entertainers,
workshops, speakers, talks with authors, Tai Chi, and Seattle area cultural tours. In the evenings, Seattle invites you to explore historic Pike Place Market, ride the monorail to the Space Needle, shop downtown or dine along the waterfront.
Educators and individuals interested in participating in the NAME
Conference, "From Rhetoric to Reality: Student Achievement in Multicultural Societies," should access the NAME website: www.nameorg.org, or contact Jill Moss Greenberg at 202.628.6263 or jill@nameorg.org.

Title: Video on Vietnamese bilingual education
Body: From: "Anselmo Villanueva"
The youngsters gathered in an empty classroom at
the Vietnamese-American Civic Association in
Dorchester are unanimous in their opinion.
Bilingual education is a good thing.
When the association's youth coordinator,
Phuong-dai Nguyen, proposed doing a project on any
issue touching the lives of the program's
Vietnamese refugee and immigrant teenagers, her
students quickly embraced the idea of doing
something on bilingual education. They had all
benefited from the method and felt their
transition from ''Vietnamese newcomer" to
''Vietnamese-American" was hastened by the
program. They also felt that no one had sought the
opinion of students -- the group most affected by
the 2002 vote on Question 2, which eliminates the
program from public schools.
The youths chose to create a video to document
their feelings about and experiences with
bilingual education, in part because they thought
taking that route might be the easiest option...
Elizabeth Shelburne, Globe Correspondent, 10/12/2003

and the film, visit www.vacaboston.org, or call
