Title: Our Children Isn't Learning: The Problem with Assessment
Body: From http://casls-nflrc.blogspot.com Our Children Isn't Learning: The Problem with Assessment October 19, 2009 Regular progress checks that provide immediate, meaningful, and consistent feedback has been shown in a meta-study of over 75 research papers from around the world to improve student performance by .5 to 1.0 standard deviations (Black and Wiliam, 1998).

Title: Article: Fewer German Programs in Texas
Body: From http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/101409dnmetgerman.3900015.html Texas schools saying auf Wiedersehen to German programs By JESSICA MEYERS October 14, 2009 Across the country, German is sputtering next to its garrulous Spanish competitor, and now Mandarin is grabbing the spotlight. Even in Texas, a state once known for its meat-and-potatoes heritage and annual polka festivals, German's lost the love. The battle of the tongues is tight. Foreign languages remain a low priority among American students, who start later and study fewer years than counterparts in many other countries. Teachers blame this language loss on budget constraints and a heavier focus on core subjects such as science and math.
