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? Nick Griffis Adult Education Inlet Grove H.S.
