The EFF/TV411 Crosswalk (2002) presents the cooperative efforts of Equipped for the Future (EFF) and Adult Literacy Media Alliance staff to correlate the TV411 video and print materials with the EFF Content Standards and Role Maps. It is designed to help instructors use EFF and TV411 together. Under each standard is a list of the video segments that support multiple components of that standard. For each video segment listed there is a summary of its content and the relevant roles. The publication also contains the EFF Content Standards, the Role Maps, an introduction to the crosswalk and the TV411 curriculum and the EFF Content Framework. Available online at: http://www.tv411.org/teacher_resources/pdf/EFF_TV411.pdf 2. A Busy Teacher's Guide to Equipped for the Future Lesson Planning (2000) by Mary Kay Alegre, Arlington Education and Employment Program. http://www.aelweb.vcu.edu/publications/teacher_guide/ This guide is designed to help teachers understand the EFF Content Standards and terminology, and create an EFF lesson. It describes how one teacher (the author) planned for and built an integrated EFF lesson. Contains a sample ESL instructional unit with student handouts. Here's an excerpt from Part 4: How Did You Do That? What an Integrated EFF Lesson Looks Like: "So, to build a unit on "Using the Internet", based on the EFF Content Standards, I needed to thoughtfully consider the components of the particular Standard I was focusing on and the Common Activities associated with that Standard. I would need to determine my approach by considering the Relevancy to students lives, The Purposes for which they will use the skills outside of class; and The Roles they are responsible for outside of class. I would need to add components and activities to the unit to ensure a lesson that somehow integrated all of these things-not just pieces of the whole." Have a good weekend, Ronna Ronna Spacone EFF Special Collection Coordinator Ronna.Spacone@ed.gov (202) 233-8767
