Obama Visits School Where Large Number of Students Are ELLs
Education Week
In her Learning the Language blog, Mary Ann Zehr writes, "Yesterday, President Obama visited a charter school in Madison, Wis., where 39 percent of students are English-language learners…President Obama did mention English-language learners at one point, saying that a commitment to education means 'boosting the numbers of quality teachers who can help our special education and English-language learners meet high standards — as you've done here at Wright.' But that still doesn't tell us much."

I am half American & half Costa-Rican. I teach in an inner-city school with many bilingual (Spanish) students. I really enjoy your newsletter! I print out a lot of the articles/suggestions for the parents. Thank you!
