Dear List Subscribers,
The new Program Leadership and Improvement List will be relaunched
Tuesday, March 2nd. Shortly after it launched in January, the National
Institute for Literacy and the Department of Adult Education and
Literacy at the US Department of Education began conversations about
changing this list to a fully moderated discussion list. Because this
involved some changes in technology, the decision was made to 
inactivate
the list until the technological issues could be resolved. The list was
inactive for approximately a month and will be relaunched Tuesday, 
March
2nd in its new format.

Please note that this list is formally moderated. This means that as 
the
list moderator, I will review each of the postings in advance to
determine their appropriateness in meeting the purposes for which the
list was established. Approval guidelines have been posted at
http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/nifl-pli/guidelines_pli.html and,
if you are interested in subscribing to the list, I encourage you to
take the time to review them. 
You can subscribe to the list at
http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/nifl-pli. There are several great
"guest posters" lined up over the next few months, Including:
