Betsy Kubota Harper College Palatine, IL -----Original Message----- From: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov] On Behalf Of Katrina Hinson Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2005 12:31 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:1300] New Instructor Training Materials Out of curiosity, does anyone have any ideas, suggestions etc, for "new" instructor training materials? I have been asked to work on developing a new instructors training manual because we don't currently have one and while I have some information as it relates to policy etc I'd like to know if anyone has any ideas for what else to include. I want to make functional manual that gives people never exposed to Adult Ed before, some kind of background as well as resources and knowledge to make the teaching experience less fearful or overwhelming. I'd like to hear anyone's ideas. Regards Katrina Hinson
