Title: Article: Report Shows Steep Gains by Students From Abroad
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/18/nyregion/18schools.html?_r=1&ref=education Report Shows Steep Gains by Students From Abroad By JAVIER C. HERNANDEZ March 17, 2009 Days after it was criticized by lawmakers for failing to make gains with students struggling with English, the city’s Department of Education released a report on Tuesday showing that unprecedented numbers of those students became proficient in English last year and that more of them passed state tests in English and math. But despite efforts to improve the performance of the city’s 150,000 students who are still learning English, nearly 70 percent of them do not graduate within four years and older students in particular lag behind their peers on state tests.

Title: NCES State Education Reforms (SER) Site Has Been Reorganized
Body: The National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences has just reorganized the State Education Reforms (SER) website. Modifications to the website include a revised classification of state- reform efforts and improved table accessibility. The SER website now categorizes reform activities into five areas: 1) accountability; 2) assessment and standards; 3) staff qualifications and development; 4) state support for school choice and other options; and 5) student readiness and progress through school. In addition to the reorganization, the SER website has updated a selection of tables within the "accountability" and "assessment and standards" areas, and has added a new table on state policies regarding the teaching of English Language Learners in the "staff qualifications and development" area. To locate these tables on the website, please look for the "Updated!" and "New!" tags next to the table titles. To view the site, please visit: http://nces.ed.gov/programs/statereform

Title: Ideas for Teaching Clothing, Part 3
Body: The last two weeks’ InterComs included ideas for teaching clothing from several Improving Early Language Programs listserv subscribers. Here is one more idea: --- My fifth graders are on an imaginary trip to Mexico. I introduced a list of clothing that they might want to take with them on the trip. Then, I gave each child a paper suitcase (red construction paper, folded in half, then cut into the shape of a suitcase). Each child was also given a sheet of paper with clip-art pictures of all the clothing on the list, and was told to choose eight pieces of clothing to pack in the suitcase. They cut out each of the pieces of clothing they had chosen, colored them (I intentionally limited them to only red, blue, yellow, or green), and pasted the pictures in their suitcases. Then they made a list of the items they had packed. After we had arrived at the imaginary airport, we realized that nobody had put an ID tag on their suitcases, and all of them were mixed up! Good thing they had made those packing lists! The students had to walk around the class and try to find out who had their suitcases by using their packing lists to ask questions ("¿Hay una falda roja en tu maleta? Hay unos zapatos azules en tu maleta?) The other student could look into the suitcase he or she was carrying in order to answer "sí" or "no", but the students weren't allowed to look inside each other's suitcases until they checked in with me and told me who they had thought had their suitcase (I had created a master list beforehand of exactly who had each person's suitcase).
