Barb Garner Editor, Focus on Basics The Change Agent Call for Articles Theme: Transitions All of us make transitions, both voluntary and involuntary. It's part of life. Transitions imply growth and change, usually from the familiar to something less familiar. Sometimes we have no choice over the transition we have to make, but other times, we make the decision to make a change. Either way, change tends to be difficult for most of us. Adult Learners and Educators: In this issue we want to hear and learn from people who have made successful transitions, and overcome obstacles. We also want to hear and learn from teachers and counselors and other program staff who assist students in this process. We are looking for student writings, lessons, activities and reflections addressing the theme of educational and life transitions such as from GED to post-secondary education or training, from incarceration to community, from public assistance to economic independence, from country of origin to the USA, and from one stage of life to another. Questions for students and teachers to think about: * If you yourself decided to make a transition, what motivated you to do it? * What was your life like before, during and after the transition? What have you learned through this experience? * What issues have come up for you during the transition? How were they resolved? * What social programs and supports helped you or hindered you during the transition? * What teaching or counseling strategies and resources have been helpful? * What could an adult education program do to best facilitate students' transitions and help them take the next step? What advice would you give to adult learners who want to make life changes? All articles must be received by November 12, 2004. All articles will be considered. Suggested length is 500-1,200 words. Final decisions are made by The Change Agent editorial board. A stipend of $50 will be paid to each student whose work is accepted for publication in this issue.
