The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education is proposing significant changes to educational requirements for teachers who have English language learners in their classrooms. These changes will affect thousands of educators, first in districts with a high percentage of ELL students and low performance, but soon throughout the state. Teachers are encouraged to attend the upcoming DESE information sessions. The new regulations are scheduled to be voted on in May and the DESE is currently soliciting public comment on them. Comments must be submitted by April 20 to RETELL@doe.mass.edu.

Massachusetts makes its educators work harder to cater to the children of illegal immigrants. If the feds and states enforced the immigration laws, there would be almost NO achievement gap.
I'm glad I don't rely on the Watchdog for data analysis.
