Spars With Teachers, Trump On Autism And More Education Stories Of The Week |
by ANYA
KAMENETZ, CORY TURNER, KAT LONSDORF - nprEd | Pub: 02/23
|
At one point, Trump also referred to "tremendous increases" in the
rate of autism. This is a matter of some scientific controversy, but U.S. public health experts believe that what's happening is largely an increase in diagnosis and awareness, not necessarily in the number of children with the condition. The idea that autism
itself is on the rise is a talking point for the anti-vaccine movement. Trump has met with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who propounds, against all scientific evidence and mainstream medical opinion, that childhood vaccines cause autism.

Texas
school districts struggle to recruit bilingual certified teachers |
by ALIYYA
SWABY - The Texas Tribune | Pub: 02/21
|
Brenda Medina spends most of her time in the classroom translating
lessons for her Corpus Christi ISD fourth-graders into English and Spanish because half her 20 students speak English and the other half need extra bilingual support. A nine-year veteran, Medina is part of an overworked force of bilingual certified educators
in the state — as more bilingual students file into Texas public school classrooms. Kellye Loving, her principal at Oak Park Elementary, has worked hard to recruit teachers qualified to educate about 85 English-language learners at the school, including traveling
to the Rio Grande Valley to interview candidates and persuade them to move to the Corpus Christi area.
