Ruby Bridges to lecture at Quinnipiac University on March 26 Ruby Bridges, who initiated the desegregation of New Orleans' public
schools in 1960, will discuss her experience during a com-munity lecture
at 6:30 pm on March 26, in Alumni Hall at Quinnipiac. Her talk, sponsored
by the Division of Education at Quinnipiac, is free and open to the public.
A federal judge decreed that Monday, Nov. 14, 1960, would be the day black
children in New Orleans would go to school with white children. At the
age of six, Bridges, escorted by federal marshals, became the first black
child to enter William Frantz Elementary School in New Orleans. "The morning
of Nov. 14, federal marshals drove my mother and me the five blocks to
William Frantz," Bridges said. "In the car, one of the men explained that
when we arrived at the school two marshals would walk in front of us and
two behind, so we'd be protected on both sides." An angry mob greeted Bridges
and many white families withdrew their children in protest. "We spent that
whole day sitting in the principal's office," Bridges said. "Through the
window, I saw white parents pointing at us and yelling, then rushing their
children out of the school. In the uproar I never got to my classroom."
Bridges' experience forever changed desegregation in the South and taught
her a valuable lesson she still spreads today. "Schools can be a place
to bring people together, kids of all races and backgrounds," she said.
"That's the work I focus on now, connecting our children through their
schools. It's my way of continuing what God set in motion 40 years ago
when he led me up the steps of William Frantz Public School and into a
new world."

For information, contact (401) 769-4200, email LEARNRI@att.net. employment opportunities no new opportunities post this time online / resources Scientifically Based Research is a fundamental idea in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The Act calls for the use of scientifically based research as the foundation for many education programs & for classroom instruction. Although this relates to K-12 programming, much of the recent controversy around phonics and whole language has also seeped into adult literacy practice; we, too, are being called upon to utilize research-based approaches in our work with reading. On February 6, Assistant Secretary for Elementary & Secondary Education
Susan Neuman hosted a seminar where leaders in the fields of education
& science discussed the meaning of scientifically based research &
its status across various disciplines, including reading, math, safe &
drug-free schools, & comprehensive school reform. transcript of the

Trilingual parent resource guide: Miami-Dade County Public Schools , Washington Mutual and The Education Fund have teamed up to create an, easy-to-read parent resource guide in English, Spanish, and Creole. This publication is one in a series of activities developed by The Education Fund to bring cutting-edge solutions to parent involvement dilemmas. http://www.educationfund.org/publications.html ; the guide itself is available as a PDF file at http://www.educationfund.org/pdf/cerep.pdf from Rethinking Schools, an elementary school teacher's lesson plan around workers' rights, and women's rights in particular. While the lesson was designed for young students, the process the teacher used to engage her students is one that is easily adaptable to adult ABE, ESOL and GED learners.

The first annual Sharing Our Pain. Saturday, April 6 from 5-9:30 PM at Fellowship Hall of the Trinity United Methodist Church, 375 Broad Street, Providence. Admission is free to all.; this event is made possible in collaboration with Trinity Encore and the Liberian Community Association of Rhode Island through a Rhode Island Foundation Grant At the heart of the event is the premise that poetry is therapeutic for both writer and audience. It can communicate across time, culture, place, race and gender. This event was inspired by poetry that was, and continues to be written in response to the Liberian Civil War. However, the emotions expressed in these poems transcend the specifically Liberian experience, and are felt wherever there is war. Therefore this event will be a forum for local poets of various communities who have felt war, whether in the home, on the streets, or on foreign soil, to share their experiences and their pain and in sharing and in writing, begin to heal. Readings at the event will include the winning poems from the Liberian Civil War Poetry Competition, written by Liberians here in the US and abroad. Six Liberian Poets from around the US, including Minnesota, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island and North Carolina will be present and will read at the event. Several local poets from various backgrounds will be invited to read, including poets from a series of youth poetry workshops staged around Providence. There will also be an art installation "poetry wall" so that many can participate. All poets will be asked to write and read on the theme of war, though interpretation is open. Several NGOs will be invited to set up informational displays on their peace building and relief work around the world. Short video documentaries could be shown. The event will also include a Book Sale and Signing. Food and beverage will be provided. For more information on the event, to submit poetry, or to get involved, please contact Saah N'Tow (401-578-6135, sntow@usa.net <mailto:sntow@usa.net), Bill Votta (wvotta@cox.net), or Sara Struever (401-621-5686, polkadottts@yahoo.com The Poverty & Race Research Action Council (PRRAC) announces another round of education reform grants in areas of social science research. PRACC is particularly interested in issues such as high classroom turnover/mobility and its disproportionate impact on low-income, minority, and farm worker students. However, other issues will be considered as well. To apply, send PRRAC a proposal outlining the planned research and methodology, the advocacy work it is designed to support, a budget, timeline, and qualifications of the researchers. Maximum grant: $10,000. No application deadline. http://www.prrac.org/grants.htm Call For Articles theme: the Change Agent Expressing Ourselves - Creating Change Educators and Adult Learners: We are looking for lessons, activities, and student writings about the connection between creativity and social change. Some questions to think about: How can we develop our creativity so we can be better agents of change? What is the connection between personal growth (change, transformation) and social change? How can art, movement, writing, music, etc. help us express ourselves? What happens to us and others when we do this? What activities have you used in the classroom to help students give voice to their interior world? Articles must be received by May 6, 2002. All articles will be considered. Final decisions are made by The Change Agent Editorial Board. Please send material (by email or PC disk) to: Angela Orlando, World Education, 44 Farnsworth St, Boston, MA 02210 phone: (617) 482-9485 fax: (617) 482-0617 email: aorlando@worlded.org from Jon Randall, Dec 10: At http://www.natcoalitionliteracy.org you can see the latest version of the Omnibus Literacy Legislation concept paper developed by the National Coalition for Literacy. To get to it, click on "Policy and Legislation" on the home page, then on "Commitment Three," and then on "Omnibus Literacy Legislation." Last week the Public Policy Committee of the National Coalition for Literacy met by conference call to consider 49 recommendations submitted from literacy advocates throughout the country. Most of them were approved in one form or another. On December 13th, the National Coalition for Literacy will review and hopefully approve the document at its quarterly meeting in Washington, D.C. From there, we'll ask a Senator or Congressperson to have the paper drawn up as a piece of federal legislation. In the coming weeks, we'll help literacy supporters become familiar with its provisions by highlighting key sections. We'll also be targeting key potential cosponsors during this period. Check out the web site for additional steps in the process and to download the latest version of the concept paper. (You'll need the free program Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you can get from www.adobe.com if you don't already have it on your system.) Call for Papers: Women and Literacy Edited by Mev Miller Women's Studies Quarterly is the leading journal on teaching in womenís studies. Thematic issues feature material for specialists and generalists alike, including the most recent scholarship available in jargon-free language; classroom aids such as course syllabi; discussions of strategies for teaching; and up-to-date, complete bibliographies as well as hard-to-find or never-before-published documents and literary materials. Intersections of race and class with gender are of special concern, as are international perspectives. The Quarterly seeks writing for a December, 2003 issue on Women and Literacy. Cross-cultural and international in scope, this issue seeks to include a selection of essays from practitioners in the fields of literacy and adult education as well as from women's studies. Contributions made by literacy practitioners co-authored with women learners or authored by women learners are especially encouraged. This issue encourages writings in a variety of genres, e.g., memoir, personal essays, collections of student writings. Essays may be both reflective of actual practice or theoretical issues. Contributors are asked to include a brief description of your experience in the literacy field. For the purposes of this issue, "women and literacy" pertains to the
concerns and issues for adult women learners (18+ years of age) who have
pre-basic or limited reading/writing skills in predominately print-based
cultures. This issue seeks to heighten the awareness of womenís studies
academics and feminist educators to the issues of literacy for adult women.
It also strives to explore beyond functional definitions of literacy. Questions
to be addressed may include: What are your definitions of "literacy"?

We are living in a very challenging and perplexing era as a result of globalisation and corporatision, 'stream-lined' economic policy, institutional downsizing, and infringements on our rights and freedoms. In working for social and environmental change, we continually face challenges, frustrations, ambiguity, and even chaos. Questions we can ask ourselves include: What is the relationship between adult education, leadership and social change?; What are the characteristics of this new era and what are the implications for adult education leaders in communities, colleges and universities?; What types of leadership and roles do we now play and will we need to play in the future?; Are there intersections between adult education theory and practice and leadership theory and practice that can help us find our way?

Heritage Languages in America: Second National Conference Washington, D.C. October 18-20, 2002 The first day of the conference will be an invitational research symposium at the University of Maryland,. The final 2 days will be a public meeting in Tysons Corner, VA. http://www.cal.org/heritage Joshua Fishman, Yeshiva and Stanford Universities from previous bulletins: REMINDERS, RESOURCES: Stop the Hate, http://www.stopthehate.net/index1.htm - provides numerous resources of value to anyone working in adult education, community development and/or hoping to consider viable ways in which to approach social change. Language and Literacy is a Canadian on-line journal for educators interested in a broad range of literacy issues encompassing research and teaching in multimedia, print, and oracy. Available at http://educ.queensu.ca/~landl/ list servs: LR/RI listserv: As some of you know, Literacy Resources has a list serv - an email discussion group available to anyone with access to email in the state (or beyond, as interest warrants). To learn more about the list, or to subscribe, please send an email message to janet_isserlis@brown.edu. To date, about 30 people have joined the list. Its purpose is to provide a forum for local educators to discuss policy, practice, resources, issues and news related to our work with one another. Unlike the bulletin, which arrives as email, the list is interactive - when you respond to message from the discussion list, everyone else on the list receives your message -- and the conversation, we hope, continues and grows. VALUE e-list: VALUE has established a valuelearners mailing for email users, hosted by the Western/Pacific Literacy Network, part of the National Institute for Literacy Information and Communication Network System (LINCS). This "e-list" is a way for adult learners who are members of VALUE to communicate with each other. Only adult learners who are members of VALUE can subscribe to this e-list. VALUE is the national organization for adult learners (current or former participants in adult basic skills programs) in the United States. VALUE provides training and other supports to adult learners who want to be more effective leaders in their education programs, communities, and states. This e-list is being managed by members of VALUE's Communications Committee. Subscribers are encouraged to communicate about information, ideas, questions, or problems of interest to them. If you are a member of VALUE and need help subscribing, please contact LR/RI. If you're not a member, but would like to become one, contact LR/RI or visit the VALUE website at http://literacynet.org/value.
Professional development initiative: In 1998, I spent time at the RI Dislocated Worker Program, facilitating classes for teachers there so that they could have an opportunity to observe one another's classes and to reflect on their learning and teaching. (The full text of their reflections is available on the LR/RI web site at Writing from the Field - or contact LR/RI for a hard copy). Please let me know if you would like to participate in this process of professional development. All that's required is your willingness to share your reflections about the observation/learning process for others. I hope to build a block of writing and thinking about this and other forms of our own professional development both through the bulletin and the web site.
Please contact LR/RI if you have information, questions or announcements to share with adult educators in Rhode Island. Bulletins go out at least twice a month; more frequently when there's more to share. To submit information for the next bulletin, please contact LR/RI by phone (401-863-2839), mail (PO Box 1974, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912) or email. back to LR/RI home |
