Dear Colleagues:

Two years ago, the Literacy Assistance Center held a five-day GED
instructional planning institute, designed primarily for GED instructors
who work with older adolescents.  Among the topics we addressed were:
* pedagogy and andragogy
* SCANS Skills
* critical thinking and the GED
* interdisciplinary/theme-based instruction
* project-based learning
* multiple intelligence theory
* collaborative and cooperative learning
* instructional planning
* peer review

We have a limited number of bound copies of the institute that include all
of the handouts, materials, and readings that we used.  We are happy to
send a copy to any professional developer/practitioner who is interested.
To receive your binder, please email or call Reion Evans at
reione at lacnyc.org, or 212-803-3344.  To review the institute online, go to
