List Members,

	I am curious just how many active Adult Ed. teachers are on this list. I
run a daily, three hour, night class for adults who want to get their GED or
for people who need a certain high score on an assessment test. Could you
send in a short message of who you are and what kind of environment you work
in. What are your needs? What have you developed to solve some of your needs
that other teachers might utilize.
	I am hoping that this list can expand to be a place where teachers can
exchange resources, not just ideas. Teachers are working in isolation.
Everyone has to be inventing their own wheel. It makes for a lot of wasted
work, not to mention the morale killer of working outside of a group support
system that regular school teachers have access to, in albeit a small way.
	I see the biggest demand in Adult Ed as a need for a structure made up of
effective templates that automates the daily  administration of a teacher's
classroom. Teacher's can no longer teach enough because administration takes
so much time and effort. This is especially true in Adult Ed due to its'
special characteristics.
	I would be interested in hearing from actual teachers who would like to
developed this strand of dialog further.

	Are you out there?
