I think he raises a good point, especially for those of us in the volunteer sector who often offer services to those most difficult to serve. I think the bi-lingual instructor sounds great. I find that goal setting is much more effective and productive if I have a translator present at student orientation. Let's face it, it's difficult to discuss anything when there is no shared language. Kirk also mentions goal paperwork for the student to take home if they wish. How about a copy in their native language and a copy for their next instructional location? The paperwork intended for program use could contain references to the EFF Special Collection so that a program unfamiliar with EFF would know how to access EFF resources. Jenny Jenny Ransone NIFL-4EFF Discussion List Moderator jransone2@jcplin.org Kirk wrote.... We are also considering ways to better implement EFF in all our programs, still keeping in mind the NYS Learning Standards, of course. The options discussed in the EFF article are not immediately applicable because they assume a long-term commitment to the course of study. We are lucky to get three full months with the majority of attendees in this program. I've been thinking a bi-lingual instructor could provide a 1/2 hour piece on goals each week, with paperwork students could take home if they wish. Have others incorporated EFF goal-setting into walk-in programs, particularly short-term walk-in programs? If so, how, and what successes/obstacles have you faced? Thank you, Kirk:)
