The EFF National Center, over this year, will be producing 4 teacher tips for 
using the EFF standards and framework in ways that are contextual, purposeful 
and in a constructivist way.  The first one will be on using EFF for goal 
setting with students, and will be out in the early winter.  We will announce 
to the list when it is available.  

The teachers in Rhode Island asked about materials for teachers, as have the 
teachers in our staff development events, workshops and presentations.  The 
Standards Guide, as was pointed out before, is a publication that introduces 
the EFF standards to a wide audience.  The teacher tips will be to help 
teachers use EFF in classrooms, tutoring situations and programs.  Any 
materials, however, without EFF staff development, will not be as effective 
in helping teachers incorporate EFF into everything they do.  Our orientation 
to EFF and teaching and learning workshops incorporate usiing the standards 
for instruction.  We do use the standards books in these workshops as resource
s for EFF instructional use, but it is the interactive activities and 
information from EFF facilitators from the field that really help teachers 
use EFF.  

The EFF National Center will also be producing 4 issues of the EFF VOICE for 
general information and updates about EFF.  The first edition, which will be 
published in the late fall/early winter will concentrate on the work that EFF 
is doing with the USDOE, Department of Vocational and Adult Education on the 
National Reporting System.  We will announce when it is out.

Both publications will be available on our web site as well as in hard copy.

I would like to announce that Donna Curry is now the full time Publications 
Coordinator.  Donna is in charge of publications and materials at the EFF 
National Center.  We are excited to have a full time publications person on 
board, and are especially pleased that Donna has agreed to become part of the 
Center's team.

We look forward to producing materials that keep you up to date on EFF as 
well as help you implement EFF in your instructional setting.
