NEWS RELEASE FROM EDGEWOOD COLLEGE:
Edgewood College Receives Federal Grant, Leads ESL Teacher-Training

(MATC Joins Partnership with Edgewood College, others)
A consortium
of partners led by Edgewood College recently was awarded a $2 million
federal grant to increase the number and improve the quality of teachers
needed for a steadily growing population of students with limited English
language skills in Madison and throughout south-central Wisconsin. The
first languages of these English language learners are primarily Spanish
(60%) and a variety of Southeast Asian languages (35%) including Hmong,
Lao, Cambodian, and Vietnamese. As a group, these students fare alarmingly
below academic performance standards in statewide standardized tests.see
