[Assessment 688] COABE sessions announcementMarie Cora marie.cora at hotspurpartners.comTue Mar 20 14:42:49 EDT 2007
Colleagues: Attached is a list of the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL) and LINCS sessions that will be offered next week at COABE in Philadelphia. If you are going, please consider attending one of these sessions. We are extremely interested in getting your feedback and ideas on the projects that are developed and run by the National Institute for Literacy, and this would be a great opportunity for this. There is a session on using research in your practice, as well as reports by distinguished researchers on their work in adult reading instruction. One of the sessions will discuss the new Regional Resource Center Collections that are now being developed. Some of you may be familiar with the former version of the Special Collections that were previously sponsored by the Institute. This is your opportunity to help shape and define the content of the Collections - which will be developed and maintained for your use. In terms of the Discussion Lists, you are a captive audience, but by your own choice, so you must be getting something useful out of being on a NIFL List. We really want to know what that is and how we might be able to improve the experience for you. Below is more of a description of the session on Using the Discussion Lists as Professional Development. Ok, it is also meant to entice you. :-) Looking forward to seeing you at COABE next week. marie Marie Cora <mailto:marie.cora at hotspurpartners.com> marie.cora at hotspurpartners.com NIFL Assessment Discussion List Moderator http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/assessment Coordinator, LINCS Assessment Special Collection http://literacy.kent.edu/Midwest/assessment/ ********** Going to COABE this year?
