The ANPN is interested in contacting prospective applicants who may be interested in including family math or numeracy constituencies in their grant application. The ANPN is a national organization of adult education teachers, researchers, authors, staff developers, and students interested in adult basic math instruction. We publish a quarterly newsletter, _The Math Practitioner_ and many of our members participate in regional and state-wide staff development initiatives. I am the moderator of the ANPN-sponsored Numeracy list (over 200 on-line members) which connects us all electronically in an on-going discussion of our practice. ANPN was one of the eight "Planning Grant Recipients" or projects that were funded last year to complete Phase 2 of the NIFL "Equipped for the Future" initiative. Our work was completed this summer and the product of our efforts, _A Framework for Adult Numeracy Standards: The Mathematical Skills and Abilities Adults Need to Be Equipped for the Future_ can be viewed or downloaded from the ANPN Homepage: http://www.std.com/ANPN We would like to stay involved in the continuing EFF initiative. Although ANPN will not be responding to this RFP, we welcome the opportunity to work with organizations who are applying. We feel that it is important that our work to include numeracy in adult literacy programs continue, especially in the area of family math and family literacy. For more information on a possible way for ANPN to collaborate or join in your application, please contact: Mary Jane Schmitt, ANPN President, 119 Blue Hills Parkway, Milton, MA 02186 or e-mail to: mschmitt@doe.mass.edu Thanks, Esther Leonelli, Moderator, Numeracy list (Numeracy@world.std.com) ________________________________________________ Esther D.
