Now that we realize that so many people are hungry for family literacy 
curriculum, perhaps we could have more discussion like Cathy Lindsley's 
report in which she says, 

In Oregon, a group of instructors worked with this challenge last year and 
developed a curriculum framework, using Equipped for the Future and CASAS and 
what the learners say they want. The result was the above 
curriculum framework. You can copy it for free for your own use. Again, it is 
a framework. There are about 8 lessons as examples and we hope to add more.

What does curriculum mean to all of you who are asking for copies of 
materials?  Does it come in a box with instructions on how to move from one 
step to the next?  Does it have one piece or several pieces that fit 
together?  Does it claim to meet universal needs, or does it show you ways 
that you (as the skilled facilitator) can meet the distinct needs of your 
students? 

Obviously, the need is there, particularly for staff members who are new to 
family literacy programming and new to this list.  Don't give up on those of 
us who have been around for a while and who could use a good refresher course 
ourselves.  We are a pretty generous group when given a chance to respond 
specifically.

And Happy Holidays, doggone it!
