Adult Education
2000 Data Drive EL/Civics
The Immigration and Naturalization Service has posted its 2000
state-by-state analysis of immigration patterns, making that data available
for calculating states' English Literacy/Civics (EL/Civics) allotments for
July 1. The new data affect the states' allotments by updating current
immigrant populations and recent increases in immigration. These elements
drive formula funding for states' EL/Civics programs. Congress set aside the
funds in appropriations legislation over the last several years. See

positively impact the social and emotional development of children.  To
highlight this opportunity, provide resources, share information and ideas,
and assist AI/AN programs in providing a solid foundation of social and
emotional development, the American Indian Head Start Quality Improvement
Center has developed a web page on social and emotional foundations of early
learning.  You can visit our new page at
