The 4EFF Book Group would meet here, on the NIFL-4EFF list, every 4-6 weeks to discuss selections from the EFF Content Standards book, published Jan 2000. The purpose of the group would be to discuss the EFF Content Standards; the discussion would be rooted in dialogue; the dialogue would center around the content of the book as it relates to our teaching practices. I've never participated in an online learning book group, but I'm fascinated by the idea and would like to see what happens by starting one this Fall. Basically, here's how I think the 4EFF Book Group would work: Members of the group would agree to participate for three consecutive book group meetings (or three reading selections). I imagine the length of each reading selection will be modest as will our postings to the discussion list. I would coordinate the efforts and facilitate the group, and as necessary provide support to guide the dialogue. But - I hope, through reading, we will find our own questions to pursue through writing and dialogue online. Members of the group would agree to particpate in the discussion and post their thoughts to the list at the assigned meeting times. Please do not "reply" to this email message (the listserver will return it to everyone on the list.) E-mail me at: <rgspacone@aol.com> to join the 4EFF Book Group. Please respond to me by Sept. 4th, and include the following information: 1.Name; program affiliation and position; mailing address and phone number. 2. What you hope to gain from being in an online EFF book group. 3. Any expectations you have for the group. 4. What section(s) of the EFF Content Standards document you'd like to focus on first. 5. Other questions or comments. Please respond by Sept 4th. Thanks, Ronna Ronna Spacone NIFL-4EFF List Moderator rgspacone@aol.com Phone: 202.338.2703 4113 W Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20007-4061
