by Nonie K. LesauxThe growing population of English language learners (ELLs) in U.S. schools and the low academic achievement of many of these learners have been the subject of much debate. A significant related issue is determining the sources of ELLs' difficulty, namely, understanding the distinction between learning disabilities (LD) and learning difficulties due primarily to contextual factors and second-language learning. This article addresses the future directions for research in this area, with an emphasis on the need to build consensus through converging lines of evidence. post a comment by Judith K. Bernhard, Jim Cummins, F. Isabel Campoy, Alma Flor Ada, Adam Winsler & Charles BleikerThe authors describe in this article an innovative language intervention program involving the creation of bilingual, student self-authored identity texts. Called the Early Authors Program (EAP), the intervention stands as an example of how spaces and opportunities for literacy development among young ELLs can be created in a classroom instructional environment. post a comment

by Gary NatrielloThe editors of TCR announce a call for proposals for future volumes of the NSSE Yearbooks.
by Harris CooperThe history of the school calendar is briefly described along with two concerns raised by its long summer break -- summer learning loss and the widening of the achievement gap between rich and poor. Research on the effectiveness of four solutions -- adding days to the school year, modifying the school calendar, summer school, and summer homework -- is described. Predictions about future changes in the school calendar are offered along with how these might best be fashioned to serve families and students. by Hank RubinThe people who will be responsible for preK-12 students’ learning in 2018 and 2028 are sitting in our preservice education classrooms right now; being prepared for today’s licensure requirements by professors who were educated in the 20 th century. Might this be a problem?
