Title: National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems
Body: From: "Anselmo Villanueva" National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems The National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems (NCCRESt), a project funded by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs, provides technical assistance and professional development to close the achievement gap between students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and their peers, and reduce inappropriate referrals to special education. The project targets improvements in culturally responsive practices, early intervention, literacy, and positive behavioral supports. Elizabeth Kozleski, Principal Investigator ekozleske@ceo.cudenver.edu Shelley Zion, Project Coordinator shelley.zion@cudenver.edu National Center for Culturally Responsive Educational Systems 1380 Lawrence Street, Suite 625 Denver, CO 80204 Phone: 303-556-3990 Fax: 303-556-6141 Web: www.NCCRESt.org ---------------------------------------------------------------- What are Culturally Responsive Educational Systems? Culturally responsive educational systems are grounded in the belief that culturally and linguistically diverse students can excel in academic endeavors if: - their culture, language, heritage, and experiences are valued and used to facilitate their learning and development; and - they are provided access to high quality teachers, programs, curricula, and resources. Culturally responsive educational systems are concerned with instilling ethics of care, respect, and responsibility in the professionals who serve culturally and linguistically diverse students. Culturally responsive educational systems benefit all students. Examples of culturally responsive educational practices will be shared on this web site in the near future. Stay tuned... www.nccrest.org

Title: English Languae Proficiency Standards Update
Body: From: "Carol Holm" Hi all! I was at a meeting in Salem on October 27 and 28 regarding English Language Proficiency (ELP) Standards. I just wanted to share a couple of things with you. 1.The ELP standards are complete in draft form. They will only be available on the web site at: http://www.ode.state.or.us/iasa/t3/index.htm. They exist for all grades K-CIM (10th). I would encourage you to take a look at them and start using them and making notes about what you find works and doesn't work, typos, etc. At some point, ODE will be interested in collecting your thoughts. The ELP Standards will go to the Board for apporval in June 2004. 2. Carmen West is looking for groups around the state to work on "piloting" the standards. *I think the NWREL will be partnering with ODE on this. Educators involved with this project will have to attend three meetings (1 face to face and 2 over Vtel) and will be paid a small stipend for their participation. *the duration of this project is from now until March. This project involves educators in various settings looking at and using the standards to get feedback and input from the field. *If you are interested, you should *send and email to . They are interested in classroom teachers, ESOL endorsed specialists and curriculuum directors. 3.There will be regional meetings where the ELP standards and the Annual Measurable Academic Objectives (a new acronym you will be hearing a lot AMAOs) will be presented. Keep your eyes and ears open. 4.There is talk at ODE about constructing a Spanish Reading Test! It will take a couple years to complete, but there is movement in this direction! 5.In addition to the ELP standards document, there will also be a companion document that will speak to teaching the English language to ELLs. At the beginning here, we will have two documents to help determine what is appropriate for the ELLs in your class. *I think both documents will be a part of the "pilot" project I mentioned above.

Title: ED Releases Comprehensive Migrant Program Guidance
Body: From: NCELA The U.S. Department of Education (ED) has issued wide-ranging draft guidance on the Migrant Education Program (MEP) that covers a variety of fiscal and accountability issues related to the program. MEP provides formula grants to states, which in turn typically disburse the funds to local educational agencies. The program supports state and local efforts to meet the special educational needs of children of migratory agricultural workers. MEP is Title I, Part C of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act as reauthorized by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. While covering a wide range of issues, the new guidance offers a particularly in-depth look at fiscal requirements under MEP, offering a comprehensive overview of allowable costs and even delving into such questions as which equipment may be bought with MEP dollars and how to dispose of property.
