If you send me your snail mail address, I can send you a copy of ours so you wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. It also includes the holiday schedule (really important if you are a new teacher and no one tells you it is a holiday). Some things ours doesn't have and I think should be included are the email links for NIFL and other adult education oriented sites that offer information for professional development . For example, we have OTAN and CALPRO in California and the Distance Learning group .These folks have been awfully helpful to me when I was trying to find curriculum or had a question about something. It took me a while to figure out this stuff existed. Another really helpful thing would be phone numbers for the outside adult ed people that you always end up looking for phone numbers for (CALWORKS, library literacy service, department of rehab, vocational schools, community college, department of social services).
