[Assessment 526] CROSSPOSTED: Update on Discussion ListsNguyen, My Linh Mylinh.Nguyen at ed.govWed Oct 18 11:42:20 EDT 2006
Dear Discussion List subscribers, As the National Institute for Literacy begins a new fiscal year, we have taken steps to streamline the way we deliver professional development to our discussion list members. We would like to let you know about some changes ahead for some of the National Institute for Literacy Discussion Lists. The changes affect the Women and Literacy List; Poverty, Race, and Literacy List; Content Standards List; and Program Leadership and Improvement List. First, effective October 30, 2006, we will be closing the Content Standards and Program Leadership & Improvement lists. We have chosen to close these two lists because we recognize that many of the issues that impact Content Standards and Program Leadership & Improvement carry across all the subject areas of our other Discussion Lists. Second, effective November 6, 2006, we will be merging of the Poverty, Race and Literacy List with the Women and Literacy List. We have chosen to combine the two lists because we recognize that many of the issues that impact one group also affect the other group, and believe that many of the topics discussed on one list can benefit the other list. Race and gender issues often intersect, and it is most both practical and appropriate to have them intersect on one combined list. We will continue to provide access to discussion archives on our website. Thank you for your active participation in the Institute's lists. We invite you to explore all of our lists for to help you further your own professional development. The Institute's lists include: Adult Literacy Professional Development Assessment Adult English Language Learners Family Literacy Focus on Basics Health & Literacy Learning Disabilities Poverty, Race, Women and Literacy Special Topics Technology & Literacy Workplace Literacy Descriptions and instructions on how to register for the Institute's Discussion Lists can be found at http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/discussions.html My Linh Nguyen Associate Director of Communications National Institute for Literacy (202) 233-2041 fax (202) 233-2050 mnguyen at nifl.gov
