Hi folks,

This resource looks interesting to me, and I do know that the Literacy
Assistance Center in NY is an outstanding organization.

Thought perhaps some of you out there might find the resource useful.

Thanks,

Dear Colleagues:

Two years ago, the Literacy Assistance Center held a five-day GED
instructional planning institute, designed primarily for GED instructors
who work with older adolescents.  Among the topics we addressed were:
* pedagogy and andragogy
* SCANS Skills
* critical thinking and the GED
* interdisciplinary/theme-based instruction
* project-based learning
* multiple intelligence theory
* collaborative and cooperative learning
* instructional planning
* peer review

We have a limited number of bound copies of the institute that include
all
of the handouts, materials, and readings that we used.  We are happy to
send a copy to any professional developer/practitioner who is
interested.
To receive your binder, please email or call Reion Evans at
reione@lacnyc.org, or 212-803-3344.  To review the institute online, go
to
