NIFL-4EFF Colleagues:

Beginning Feb 26, Jennifer Cromley, author of the book "Learning to Think, Learning to Learn: What the Science of Thinking and Learning Has to Offer Adult Education" will join the NIFL-Family Literacy List for a discussion of her book. Jennifer was a Literacy Leader Fellow with the National Institute for Literacy from 1998-1999, and is now on staff there as Program Officer for NIFL's Literacy Leader Fellowships. Information about Jennifer's fellowship project and the resulting book are available at: <http://www.nifl.gov/activities/fllwname.htm <http://www.nifl.gov/activities/fllwname.htm>.

EFF field development partners and EFF staff development facilitators are finding two sections of Jennifer's book particularly interesting: 

Fact Sheet 4: Thinking About Thinking (pgs 37-46) is based on the principle of teaching students to notice their own thinking.

Fact Sheet 13: What Does Good Thinking Look Like? -- A Summary (pgs 125-136) is based on the principle that experienced thinkers integrate knowledge and strategies. 

If you want to subscribe to the list for the discussion, or read it through the archives, go to http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-family/family_literacy.html 

The book is free from ED Pubs: 1-877-433-7827 or order online at www.ed.gov/pubs/edpubs.html or send an e-mail to:"edpubs@inet.ed.gov <mailto:"edpubs@inet.ed.gov> and tell them you want to order a copy of "Learning to Think, Learning to Learn: What the Science of Thinking and Learning Has to Offer Adult Education." Include your name, mailing address, and phone number.
