Amy,
Your posting drew my attention to the fact that there is only one "Tool"
currently in the toolkit that specifically addresses setting a shared
goal. Hmm, an interesting thing for me to have missed(!) and I'll work
to address it ASAP.

I do want to announce the addition of a new example called "Hope," based
on Jereann King's use of a Langston Hughes poem in a pre-GED class. This
brings the number of EFF teaching examples in the toolkit to 13. So far
we have examples focused on the following standards:
Read With Understanding 
Speak So Others Can Understand
Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate
Learn Through Research 
Convey Ideas in Writing
Advocate and Influence
Listen Actively
Take Responsibility for Learning

You can find examples for ABE, ESOL, family literacy, GED, pre-GED, 1-1
instruction, and Corrections.

Aaron has been working hard to add long-awaited links from the Standards
pages, including illustrations (developed by Tacoma Community House and
great for ESOL or new readers), the Standards in Spanish, and each
Standard's performance continuum. 

This really is an evolving site, so remember to check on it periodically
and consider sending in examples or tools that might fill the remaining
gaps. Maybe we can start by getting back to Amy's question about how you
set shared goals . . .
