Columbus, OH: ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education. Family literacy has been the focus of research and practice for at least the past 2 decades. These programs bring together both early childhood and adult literacy programs in a whole-family learning effort. This paper reviews and synthesizes reports about family literacy programs and practices, focusing on outcomes for adult learners. The emphasis is on resources available in the ERIC database from 1990 to the present.

A Delicate Balance; By Bess Keller This Education Week article about a school in Texas that offers dramatically different classroom styles – Montessori and Direct Instruction http://www.edweek.org/ew/newstory.cfm?slug=34aldine.h21 And here is why it is so timely (and a little scary): **No Child Left Behind: Low-Performing Schools Policy Brief The concept of evaluating school performance relative to making adequate yearly progress is not new to states. What has changed is that states previously had more latitude in this area. Under the new Elementary and Secondary Education Act, state responsibilities for intervention are more prescribed. http://www.ecs.org/html/newsMedia/e-Connection.asp#ep By the way: The Connect for Kids Weekly is an electronic newsletter of Connect for Kids (http://www.connectforkids.org/), a resource for adults who want to build better communities for kids and families. The Benton Foundation, our publisher, works to realize the social benefits made possible by the public interest use of communications. I highly recommend signing up for this newsletter (but then you'll know where I get all this cool information!)
