Title: Article: ESOL Training Rules May Stay the Same in Florida
Body: From http://www.miamiherald.com/295/story/514862.html ESOL training rules may stay the same The state House passed a compromise bill to cut the number of hours of instruction required for ESOL teachers. But the bill may die in the Senate, leaving the requirements the same. BY NIRVI SHAH April 30, 2008 The Florida House of Representatives on Tuesday unanimously passed a compromise that preserves much of the special training for reading teachers of students learning English -- but the compromise so displeased the bill's Senate sponsor that he promised to let it die without a vote in his chamber. The ironic net result: If that happens, the present 300 hours of training required of teachers of English for Speakers of Other Languages will continue unchanged for now -- as South Florida advocates had hoped. About one in every seven students in Miami-Dade and Broward public schools is learning English as their second language. Read the entire article at http://www.miamiherald.com/295/story/514862.html .
