The EFF Teaching/Learning Cycle, which will be highlighted in the next =
issue of the HOT Topics, has been added to the EFF Special Collection in =
the EFF Downloadable Masters section. For a copy, go to EFF Products and =
Publications at =
http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/collections/eff/eff_publications.html  and =
click on the link for EFF Downloadable Masters at the top of the page.=20
Andy Nash (from the EFF National Center) and Marilyn Gillespie (from the =
EFF Assessment Consortium) are writing an EFF Teaching and Learning =
Toolkit that will be based on the EFF Teaching/Learning Cycle. =20

The purpose of the toolkit will be to provide resources (tools, =
strategies, examples, and background guidance) that illustrate the EFF =
teaching/learning cycle.  The toolkit will guide practitioners through =
the implementation of each step of the cycle with a special emphasis on =
role of assessment in each step. =20

The kit will provide guidance for those who understand EFF's goals and =
are drawn its approach and vision, but who need support in how to =
implement that vision in daily teaching practice. We would like the =
contents of the kit to build upon real practices used in the field by =
EFF teachers, tutors, facilitators and program administrators. To do =
this, we need you. Look over the 10 steps of the teaching learning =
cycle.=20

Do you have:

>  Examples or stories from practice about how you have taught the =
entire cycle;

> Examples or stories of how you have taught  one or two steps in the =
cycle;

>  Tools, techniques or strategies for teaching specific steps in the =
cycle;

> Background guidance for how to implement a step or steps in different =
contexts (e.g. ESL, GED, corrections, family literacy);

> Names of published or unpublished books and materials that have given =
you insights or provided techniques for how to teach using EFF?

 We'll welcome any good ideas or suggestions you have-even if they are =
in "rough" or handwritten form. We can adapt them to fit the format of =
the kit. Although not every suggestion may make it into the kit (we're =
trying to keep it short), the work of each contributor will be =
recognized. =20
