I have a question for those of you on this list. My school is considering
implementing an electronic portfolio to manage and track the progress of our
ESL students within our program. I have some personal experience with the
system provided by Chalk and Wire, but beyond that I am in the dark about
other providers and software options. 

Our plans are to incorporate student data as well as artifact files, such as
text, pdf, video and audio files. We have options to either go client side
or server side with the data files. I will appreciate any information and
experiences that any of you may have about software and ways to enhance the
effectiveness. 

Thank you,

John Warrior

Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitators Training

The purpose of this training guide is to help experienced professional
developers and others organize and conduct a one-day session to train and
orient those who will serve as facilitators of a HALL/NCSALL Health Literacy
Study Circle+. A Health and Adult Literacy and Learning (HALL)/National
Center for Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL) Health Literacy
Study Circle+ is a professional development activity for adult basic
education (ABE), adult secondary education (ASE), or adult English for
Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) practitioners. This guide includes the
information and materials you will need to conduct the training, but not
background information on planning and facilitating training. Facilitators
of the Health Literacy Study Circle+ Facilitators Training should be
experienced trainers. For more information and to download the training
guide, go to the NCSALL Web site: http://www.ncsall.net/?id=1169

Hi everyone,
 
I wanted to let you know that I've added more information taken from our
discussion on formative assessment to the ALE Wiki Assessment section.
Go to:
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Assessment_Information
and click on Formative Assessment.  I added some Quotes of Note from the
discussion, and I'm in the process of building a section on samples of
IEP/ILP/ISPs - cyber links are up there now, but the sections with
samples from colleagues are only blank pages so far - I need to make the
files PDF and post them in their proper format which will take me just a
bit of learning first.
 
If (when!) you go to the Wiki, consider signing in as a user.  You need
to do that anyway if you are going to add or change text.  But even if
you just go and use the resources there, sign in so we know who's
becoming part of the ALE Wiki community.
 
I always make proper acknowledgements in terms of persons and resources,
but if you do not want your name or materials posted, please contact me
right away.  
 
Thanks,
marie
