Title: UNESCO's Preliminary Study on a Standard-setting Instrument to Protect Endangered Languages
Body: In August 2009 UNESCO published a preliminary study on the possibility of an international standard-setting instrument for the protection of indigenous and endangered languages. You can read it here: http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0018/001836/183669e.pdf . Over the next two years UNESCO will be observing the effectiveness of current international instruments and will be deciding whether or not to set up something non-binding (such as a declaration or recommendation) or something legally binding (such as a convention). The Culture Commission of UNESCO’s General Conference will be debating this issue on Friday 16 October in Paris. Pearson, D.

Title: AB 544 Signed: American Indian Languages Credential in California
Body: From http://www.kumeyaay.com/2009/10/ab-544-signed/ AB 544 Signed This bill requires the California Commission On Teacher Credentialing, upon recommendation by a tribal government of a federally recognized Indian tribe in California, to issue an American Indian languages credential to a candidate who has demonstrated fluency in that tribal language, and met other requirements. The bill authorizes the holder of an American Indian languages credential to teach the American Indian language for which the credential was issued in California public schools in preschool, kindergarten, grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and in adult education courses, and would make the holder of that credential eligible for a professional clear teaching credential upon completion of a specified period of time and application and consultation as specified. The bill encourages each federally recognized American Indian tribe to develop a written and oral assessment that should be successfully completed before an applicant is recommended for an American Indian languages credential.
