This message is cross-posted from the NIFL-Workplace List, Ronna The NIFL Science & Numeracy Special Collection, in cooperation with the Numeracy discussion list, is pleased to announce a four-week online discussion of issues dealing with adult literacy standards for science. The initial discussion will begin on Monday, February 26th. Postings to the Numeracy discussion list will also be posted to a whiteboard at the Science & Numeracy Special Collection website: <http://literacynet.org/sciencelincs/onlinediscuss2.html> . The discussion will continue at this site until March 23, 2001. This is not a "real-time" chat, so you will be able to post and read messages at your convenience, regardless of the time zone you live in. The impetus for having a discussion at this time is a request by Judy Titzel of World Education. Judy, Cara Anaam, and a team of practitioners are working on the revision of Massachusetts ABE science standards, and they are soliciting the thoughts of teachers and students regarding the science content and skills that adult learners need to be successful in their adult roles. Judy and Cara will lead the discussion by posing some initial questions and by responding to the comments of others. Please join us February 26th for the beginning of this interesting topic. A science background is not necessary to join in the discussion, just an interest in integrating science content into adult literacy work.
