A survey about resources for ESOL activities, developed by Debby Venator, is available online. We request that teachers complete the survey and send their responses to LR/RI as soon as possible. report in process: The Poverty Institute and RIPEC ( supported by the Rhode Island Foundation) are working to develop a document that will provide choices available in building a comprehensive and responsive adult education system. To develop the document, we will draw from research, and look to other states to find efficient and effective strategies for building efficient state systems, and to identify best practices in the various areas of concern. The document would form the basis for policy-makers and community members, guided by the broader adult basic education community, to engage in the challenging task of improving the system in our state. Along with the adult basic education community, we would advocate for leadership from the Governor's office in undertaking this task. Look for a mailing next week to your agency with further information about the project, and ways that you can share your ideas.

Save the dates: Using Equipped for the Future (EFF) in Family Literacy presented by Andy Nash January 17 Session 1: What is EFF and what does it offer family literacy? February 7 Session 2: What does EFF look like in a classroom? February 28 Session 3: What does EFF look like in a program? This three-session series on using EFF in Family Literacy is designed to orient you to what EFF is and how it can help you, give you concrete tools to try in classes and programs and a chance to evaluate their usefulness, and invite you to consider some ways EFF could be incorporated into your work. The first session will familiarize you with EFF and what it offers to
help you achieve results that matter to adults and their families.
You'll leave with some tools to try out in your own programs. Attendance
at this first session is critical to understanding the following two, as
all three sessions work to build common knowledge about EFF and how it
relates to your work. The second session will delve into specific EFF family
literacy classroom examples - what EFF contributed to the process, how
they are the same or different from what you already do, etc. The last
session addresses the program changes that make good classroom practice
possible. EFF is not only about instructional quality; it aims to reform
the adult education system on many levels so
Andy Nash is on EFF's national staff and has been part of its development for the past six years. She is currently developing an EFF Teaching and Learning Toolkit, which will be available on-line next year. She works at the New England Literacy Resource Center. Materials available: RIRAL has a small stash of GED en Espanol books from Arco and GED Esencial from Contemporary. We would be willing to sell the books to an agency that is currently offering GED in Spanish. Anyone who is interested can call Cidalia at 762-3841.
Rhode Island Special Interest Group of MATSOL The Rhode Island SIG is a group of professionals in ESOL and Bilingual
Education organizing under the auspices of MATSOL, in order to meet the
professional needs in the field in Rhode Island. Our purpose is to
recruit ESOL and Bilingual Education professionals in Adult ESOL, Higher
Ed, Workplace Ed, Elementary, Secondary, and Low-Incidence programs serving
English Language Learners in Rhode Island, to determine advocacy and professional
development needs. If you are interested in joining or learning more

respond: A literacy summit was held at the state house on July 24th, followed by some media attention, -- posted online at http://www.brown.edu/lrri/advocate.html As well, a response to a report generated by the Nellie Mae foundation is also on line, linked to the advocacy page above. If you would like to add your response to the summit, the state of adult ed in RI or other related advocacy and educational issues, please do so. Advocate: As programs are in the process of starting up again, this is a good time to consider a post card campaign. If and as new students are placed on waiting lists, you might consider having them fill out a postcard -- address it to the senator and representative for the district in which your agency resides -- explaining the fact that due to a lack of resources, [student x] is forced to wait for an opportunity to access language, literacy, basic education classes. To locate your local rep/senator, go to http://www.sec.state.ri.us/RIELEC/FINDOFF.HTM To make the project cost-efficient, consider keeping the postcards for a week or two and then hand delivering them to the senator or rep in question. Better still, invite him/her to your site for a chat and a visit. Programs are invited, too, to share their waiting list numbers, any responses they may receive from reps/senators, learners and community members via this bulletin. David Rosen,recently posted information about postcard campaigns on the National Literacy Advocacy list. Read his message at http://www.nifl.gov/nifl-nla/2002/1409.html (and follow the thread to learn about others states' activities). To see one local example of post card text, please contact LR/RI. What do you think? Make your voice heard. Respond to LR/RI via
email

CALL FOR PAPERS - Due January 6, 2003 FAMILY LITERACY FORUM NATIONAL EVEN START ASSOCIATION
CALL FOR PAPERS 2003 TESOL Journal Special Issue Theme: Promoting L2 Literacy, Coeditors: Nancy Clair and Marjorie Terdal Literacy is recognized today as more than just reading and writing ability and more complex than the simple dichotomy of "literate or illiterate." Rather, literacy is an extremely complex notion that is increasingly defined by the contexts in which it occurs and the factors that affect it, including economic, political, social, and cultural factors. For these reasons, ESOL researchers and practitioners must address the variety of literacies that learners seek to develop. These ESOL literacy learners are very diverse, representing not only children acquiring literacy in their L1 and L2s simultaneously but also adults who may lack or have limited literacy in their L1 and who are developing literacy in English for vocational, functional, critical, expressive, sociocultural, or general academic purposes. The Autumn 2003 issue of TESOL Journal will focus on classroom-based
practices and current scholarly perspectives related to ESOL literacy development.
The purpose of this special issue is to bring together a variety of perspectives
and current practices related to ESOL literacy education from the range
of settings where it occurs, including ESL and EFL contexts; in schools,
workplaces, community centers, and homes; and with children and adults.
These topics listed are meant to be illustrative, not restrictive. Submissions may address related areas or more than one of the areas. Submissions are welcome in all departments: feature articles, perspectives, reviews, tips from the classroom, and heard on the Web. All submissions must conform to regular submission guidelines, with the exception that three hard copies are requested of all submissions, regardless of the department. Submissions should be sent to the address below. The deadline for submissions is January 6, 2003. Send queries and material to: Marjorie Terdal, Applied Linguistics, Portland State University, P.O. Box 751, Portland, OR 97207 USA, Queries only to terdalm@pdx.edu and nclair@attbi.com

Two one-day seminars will be offered. Adult literacy and ESOL educators may apply for a scholarship to attend these seminars and receive a stipend to pay for travel. In these workshops you will learn about the range of impairments that affect vision and ways in which to assist adults with a loss of vision e.g. lighting, size of print, assistive technologies, and learning strategies. Strengthen your capacity to assist adults with visual impairments in gaining access to needed educational services. This training will utilize the expertise of rehabilitation teachers, low vision specialists, and adaptive technology teachers, who all work with adults with visual impairments. Instructors need to have been teaching adult education for at least one year and be recommended by a supervisor. Attendees will be required to share their knowledge with colleagues and learners within their programs.

from previous bulletins: REMINDERS, RESOURCES:
SABES Resource Lists Available. From Carey Reid [full message here]: As you might know, Massachusetts now has a rigorous, stand-alone ABE teacher's license. SABES, the System for Adult Basic Education Support, is a state-wide staff development system funded by MassDOE. Ö[S]months ago I asked if NLA subscribers were interested in helping SABES build resource lists, by standard, in support of teachers seeking the new license here in Massachusetts. Many of you helped out, thank you, and we've also worked with small groups of people locally to build these 29 lists, now with over 150 resources--books, articles, websites, and videos. The lists are now available on SABES's license support website at http://www.sabes.org/license. You can get quickly to the lists by clicking on the "new resources added" link under What's New, or at any time by using the resources link on the bottom of every webpage. When you arrive at the chart listing the 29 standards, click on any standard to go to the resource list we've compiled for it. The lists are annotated; with the annotations, teachers who wish to improve their knowledge and skills in respect to a particular standard can be more assured they're getting the resource they want or need. If the resource can be viewed or downloaded on the Net, we've provided a link. Additionally, we want to improve these lists, so please email me
if you'd like to suggest additions or changes. BTW, the full list
of resources is also collected in a ProCite bibliography file, so if you
use that software and would like to have your own "instant" database, let
me know and I'll email you the file. As stated earlier, SABES is funded
by the Massachusetts Department of Education. To avoid confusion,
the website is not an official DOE site but rather one of SABES's means
of supporting license-seeking teachers in our state. Links to Massachusetts
DOE webpages, however, are provided on the site.
breathe - everyday yoga at your desk. http://www.mydailyyoga.com/yoga/everyday_yoga.html 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 |
