Please see below ~ Jackie Taylor ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Colleague, The Adult Literacy Education (ALE) Wiki, a community of practice on the WorldWide Web whose focus is adult literacy education research and professional wisdom, will be one year old this December. A volunteer effort, it now has over 400 registered users, and over 500 pages. Although some of its 22 topic areas are more developed than others, we believe that most areas now have useful information for adult literacy education teachers, other practitioners, and researchers. But the ALE Wiki is not only a resource. It is also where adult literacy researchers and practitioners can learn from each other; where, we hope, eventually the questions that are most important to practitioners are answered; and where the answers are based on research or the professional wisdom and experience of practitioners and adult learners. We invite you to do a review of the Adult Literacy Education Wiki, or one of its topic areas, for a newsletter or other publication of your choice. We are eager to get the word out to as many practitioners as possible, so they can use and to add the ALE Wiki. We are equally eager to know what adult literacy education (including basic literacy, ABE, ASE and ESOL) practitioners and researchers see as the ALE Wiki's strengths and weaknesses. Whether or not your review is published, please send it to us. The topic area leaders, and other major contributors to the ALE Wiki, want to know what our colleagues find helpful and what needs to be improved. Of course, your contributions to the ALE Wiki's topics are welcome. If you are interested in adding to the ALE Wiki, please register and then you can add text. If you are interested in being a leader for a current or new topic area, please let us know. The Adult Literacy Education Wiki will be found at: http://wiki.literacytent.org Topic areas that we believe are fairly well developed include: • Assessment • Professional Development • Technology • Workforce, Workplace and Worker Education David J.
