One could clearly argue that adult education by its very nature is "alternative" but the issue could focus on revealing the needs of learners in these settings and ways of effectively addressing them. Does anyone else agree? Don Finn Field Services Coordinator Virginia Adult Learning Resource Center Richmond, Virginia http://www.vcu.edu/aelweb -----Original Message----- From: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Barbara Garner Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 7:54 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:478] more on topics I'm looking for guidance on what to cover in future FOBs...what would you like to read about? Janet Isserlis wisely suggested I provide a list of the themes already covered to jog your memories...(we can always revisit a theme, or do another "take" on it...for example, we did reading, then later we did first level readers...) For an index of articles, go to http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu/fob/topic_index.html Here's the list of themes: Research Reading Multilevel Classrooms Content-Based Instruction Learner Motivation The GED Change Project-Based Learning Adult Multiple Intelligences Accountability Standards-Based Education Writing Instruction Learning from Research (including more on motivation, and on the GED) Mathematics Instruction Technology Research to Practice (including findings from the longitudinal study of adult learning and working conditions ) First-Level Learners Adult Development Thanks for your suggestions. If your topic doesn't get chosen, it might be because it does "cut across" the various sectors of adult basic education, or because no related theory or research exists on that topic.
