Hello all,

I am reposting Donna's message of 3/12.  Some list recipients were unable to

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.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. 

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. 

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.

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 Names of published or unpublished books and materials that have given you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.
