The Institute has undertaken several changes in the past few years. As part of this effort, we have created a variety of publications for teachers, parents, adult and family literacy providers about how people learn to read and effective strategies for teaching reading. We are also beginning new lines of adult-focused work relevant to workforce development and English language acquisition. And we are undertaking new efforts to better support professional development for adult and family literacy practitioners. As part of that effort, we are making changes in how we provide discussion list services. With these changes, the Institute seeks to expand upon professional development opportunities for teachers,for example - discussions with subject area experts. Moderators will continue to perform the duties they have performed traditionally and, in addition will monitor messages to ensure that only those messages relevant to the topic of the lists are posted. Moderators will also ensure that posted messages do not contain content that violates federal anti-lobbying laws. As part of that effort we are making changes in how we provide discussion list services and we will be using new software - Mailman. Diverse perspectives that contribute to professional development are encouraged. We hope that you will continue to participate on the list and help further professional development continuing to make the lists a place where thoughtful discussion takes place. Please feel free to contact Maryjo Maralit or Tanya Shuy with further questions. Tanya Shuy
