Five Stars! How about "take out!" 

The programs could be produced in a multi-media and distributed on 
cd-rom with embedded hotlinks to current web sites. The format could 
easily incorporate elements of the proposed menu selection with the 
capacity for language and accessibilty support. 

My model is the computer program I use to prepare my taxes. Pretty 
cool. Everything I need available on-demand. And reasonably priced!

Anyone hungry?

"Hi all!
Sarah Reyes-Cairo here.

The most appealing idea to me ............. goes something like this.

-"Buffet-style" training sessions which offer mini-classes for the

various areas of basic EFF concepts."

Assessment must follow instruction and practicums with an assignment to try 
these concepts in a classroom and the teacher must communicate to a mentor
the impact of the EFF approach upon students and the teacher.

Topics

A. Modern Adult learning theory in EFF context especially 
including the Purposeful, Contextual, and Constuctivist (PCC) 
approach.
B. EFF History and why it is solid, iterative research.
C. EFF Orientation
1. 3 Roles and the Four Purposes
2. Common Activities and Knowledge Domains
3. Skill Wheel and Its Underlying Standards
4. Components of Assessment
D. Some General Ideas for Practicums on Planning an EFF Lesson
resulting in actual classroom use with subsequent assessment.
1.  EFF Approaches for GED Math
2.  EFF Approaches for GED Reading
3.  EFF	"	    "   "  Writing
4.  EFF	"	    "    ESOL level 1-2 classroom
5.  EFF	"	    "    ESOL level 3-4 classroom
6.  EFF	"	    "    ESOL level 5-6 classroom
7.  EFF	"	    "  Job Readiness or Job Improvement
8.  EFF	"	    "  Improving Family Effectiveness
9.  EFF	"	    "  Civics and Improving Your Role as an effective
