The No Child Left Behind Act: Blessing or Curse for English Language Learners?
Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, Memorial Union - Upper level, Room 202
With the controversial education law up for reauthorization this year, opinions in Congress are sharply divided on whether to extend, amend, or dismantle federal "accountability" mandates. Though the debate is complex, it boils down to a simple question for policymakers: On balance, is the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) helping or harming the "left behind" groups it claims to benefit?
Join us on Saturday, October 6, at 8:30am for a free mini-conference addressing this important question. The meeting is scheduled to end at 3:15pm.
The event is open to the public, and will feature presentations by James Crawford, Director, Institute for Language Education and Policy (ILEP); David Beaulieu, Director, ASU Center for Indian Education; David Berliner, Regents Professor, Arizona State University; and Tim Hogan, Executive Director, Arizona Center for Law in the Public Interest.
The event is co-sponsored by the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education, the Divisions of Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, the ASU Center for Indian Education, and the Cartwright Elementary School District.
Please RSVP Paula Miller at paula.miller@asu.edu by October 1. For further information about the event, please contact Professors Carlos Ovando (carlos.ovando@asu.edu) or Jeff MacSwan (macswan@asu.edu)

"Immigrants, Education, and Language": More than 10 million school children in the United States are first or second generation immigrants. One of the traditional functions of U.S. public schools has been to help prepare immigrants for successful integration into American society. This not only includes teaching them English, but also providing academic and social supports to meet the increasingly high standards for subject matter competency, high school graduation, and college access. Yet the achievement of immigrant students, even those who have mastered English, lags behind those of other students.
