I wish I could do this, as I work on Reading comprehension and critical thinking strategies for at-risk first-year college students, in addition to being director of the Writing Center , but this semester coming up will be incredibly overloaded. I'd hope spring would be better, if you have plans to re-do the course.

Study Circle: Research-based Adult Reading Instruction
Course Dates:September 25–November 19, 2008; chats on October 8 and October 29 at 12:30 or 1:30 pm EDT and November 19 at 12:30 pm or 1:30 pm EST
Course Description 
The Research-based Adult Reading Instruction Study Circle is designed to engage practitioners of adult basic education (ABE), adult secondary education (ASE), and English-for-speakers-of‐other-languages (ESOL) in discussing theories and concepts related to reading instruction. Questions about what research says about teaching adults how to read are particularly relevant as programs and teachers struggle with choosing the most effective ways to develop adults’ reading skills.
Objectives 
During this study circle, you will:
•          Think about and share your own perspectives on teaching reading and discuss the research on reading with others.
•          Then look more in-depth at the reading research, who adult readers are, and how reading research can be applied to reading instruction.
•          Identify how to assess adults’ reading skills and what adult students should know about the reading process. 
•          Develop an action plan for using what you learn in your own practice.
Course Format and Schedule:facilitated, online
During this eight-week course, you will work on team projects, engage in self-paced activities and readings, as well as asynchronous discussions with the facilitator and course participants. Chats are scheduled for October 8 and October 29 at 12:30 or 1:30 pm EDT and November 19 at 12:30 pm or 1:30 pm EST.
