Colleagues,
 
I have just been sent the link for the new edition of Field Notes, which is focused on transitions from ABE to college.  This should enhance our conversation for next week.  Please see below.  (SABES is the System for Adult Basic Education Support - the professional development system for ABE in the state of Massachusetts.)
