Common core guidelines released for English-language learners

The adoption of the Common Core State Standards is likely to set a higher bar for language skills for English-language learners. Now, a new framework, released by the Council of Chief State School Officers, is available to help schools make the transition. "We want to make sure that states are thinking about what they have to do to make sure that their ELLs are well supported," said Andrés Henríquez, an education program officer at the Carnegie Corporation of New York, a supporter of the framework.
