I am very excited to announce that from Monday Dec. 1-  Friday December
12, Dr. Mev Miller will be facilitating the following guest discussion
on the Diversity and Literacy list: Creating networks to support women's
literacy.

 

Mev Miller, Ed.D is an educator and consultant on issues of women and
literacy. She is the founder and Director of WE LEARN (Women Expanding -
Literacy, Education, Action, Resource, Network)
http://www.litwomen.org/welearn.html

WE LEARN also sponsors: Women Leading Through Reading
http://www.litwomen.org/wltr.html and Women's Perspectives
http://www.litwomen.org/perspectives.html

 

The focus of this discussion will be on further developing a women and
literacy hub/clearinghouse for the nation. The specific focus of this
discussion will be on  how can local and regional efforts gain
visibility and support  through such a network/clearinghouse?

 

In preparation for this discussion, please start thinking about the
following:

 

1) What are individuals and programs doing locally to address women's
literacy issues? For this discussion, locally means in your  classroom,
program, neighborhood, community, city, state. What you are doing might
be a curriculum, a specific type of program, or any kind of
organizing....and  more.

 

2) What do you need to support the work you are doing?

 

3) Would you find regional (state or area of country) events or
conferences useful? Be specific - how and what would you need or desire?
How might a national organization facilitate regional  supports?

 

4) How can a national clearinghouse of information specifically  focused
on women's literacy issues, curriculum, and research  support your work?
What do you need it to do?
