What's New at the Equipped for the Future Center?
The EFF Center continues to work with programs and states nationally on
a variety of projects. You can see what's happening by checking out the
calendar of events at:
http://www.nifl.gov/cgi-bin/lincs/calendar/calendar.cgi?filter_sc=5
It has now been a year since we launched the new EFF website:
http://eff.cls.utk.edu/
There have been many updates made in the past year so I would encourage
you to take a look if you haven't visited recently.
Here are just a few of those updates:
1) Two publications have been added:
http://eff.cls.utk.edu/products_services/online_publications.htm
a. The Winter 2005 issue of HOT Topics with a focus on the standard
Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate.
b. Research to Practice Note #4: An Approach to Assessment Based
on Cognitive Science
2) The EFF Teaching/Learning Toolkit has several new Examples and
supporting Tools/Supports: http://eff.cls.utk.edu/toolkit/ The Toolkit
will continue to be a growing resource with more examples in different
settings (ABE, ESOL, Family Literacy, GED, Corrections) and with
different standards.
3) Each of the EFF Standards now has a downloadable pictorial
representation available courtesy of Tacoma Community House in
Washington.
The pictures were originally developed for use with ESOL learners but
certainly have other applications.

4) Updated Spanish translations for the Standards:
