You will need to order her book now in order to review it prior to the discussion. The book is free from ED Pubs and ordering information is at the end of this message. Jennifer was a Literacy Leader Fellow with NIFL from 1998-1999, and is now on staff at the National Institute for Literacy as Program Officer for NIFL's Literacy Leader Fellowships. Information about her fellowship project and resulting book are available at http://www.nifl.gov/activities/fllwname.htm <http://www.nifl.gov/activities/fllwname.htm> . Jennifer Cromley has coordinated the evening GED program and the volunteer program at Academy of Hope, a private, non-profit GED program in the Columbia Heights neighborhood of Washington, DC. For eleven years she taught basic reading, writing, and math in the context of occupational health and safety training. She has trained over 300 volunteer teachers and peer educators across the U.S. over the last ten years. Jennifer is the author of a training manual on writing Plain English materials, co-author of a GED teacher training curriculum, and author of eight workplace health and safety manuals. She is a 1986 graduate of Yale University, B.A. Labor Studies. Her education interests include popular education, research-based teaching methods, hot cognition, and writing easy-to-read materials. She loves to play the flute and violin, listen to music, cook and bake. When Jennifer joins us the end of February, you will want to have a copy of her book already. You can get a copy from EdPubs by calling 1-877-433-7827 or by ordering online at www.ed.gov/pubs/edpubs.html or send an e-mail to mailto:edpubs@inet.ed.gov <mailto:edpubs@inet.ed.gov> and tell the you want to order a copy of "Learning to Think, Learning to Learn: What the Science of Thinking and Learning Has to Offer Adult Education." Give them your name, mailing address, your phone number. It will take a couple of weeks to get your copy, but then you will still have another couple of weeks to review it prior to the discussion. I received a copy of this book at the EFF Institute this past December and have already referred to it often. Those of you who work with the Adult Education component in your program are just going to love it!
