Paul Roger A CORDIAL INVITATION In the past, we've thought about bilingual education in reference to children. However, bilingual education can be a dynamic and powerful tool to help adults develop the skills they need to be successful in the workplace. >From El Paso to Milwaukee to New York, adult bilingual education, especially using Spanish, is taking hold. Students in such programs participate in numerous components, such as native language job-skills training, English as a Second Language (often targeted to specific career areas), ESL GED, and Spanish GED. Adult workplace bilingual/ESL teachers need the same kinds of networks, curricula, assessments, and support systems as do K-12 bilingual educators. The National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE) is supporting this important new movement and has established a SIG on Adult Workplace Bilingual/ESL Education. This is also a great opportunity to draft a policy agenda. Please join us in Philadelphia at the NABE 2002 conference: Date: March 22, 2002 Time: 4:00 - 5:00 Meeting rooms: Marriott Hotel Rooms 408-409 AGENDA 1. To draft policy and action agenda for the coming year. 2. To elect officers and identify their tasks. Please bring your ideas, and invite all your friends interested in Adult Workplace Bilingual/ESL Education.
