Earlier in the Fall, I offered the idea of a survey to determine the background and job positions of members of our list. The notion was met with some enthusiasm, so here is my best effort. Listed below you will find a number of nouns and adjectives. Choose the words that BEST describe what you do PRIMARILY (most of the time), how much you do it, clients with whom you work, and where. Keep in mind I will tally the number of responses for each word. Please don't worry about your official job title. Job titles vary from place to place. Be sure to read down the entire list. Choose as many words as apply. Also, please tell me the official title, spelled out, of your degree(s) and/or certification(s). If you must add a word that is vital to communicate who you are and what you do, please do so, but please do not write a paragraph describing your job. Please respond in an email listing the words you have chosen DIRECTLY TO ME at dwyoho@aol.com. DO NOT HIT REPLY. I will tally the results and report them to the list. It will be helpful to me if you will include your name in your response. I will not release this information. But this will allow me to keep track of how many people answer the survey. Here is a sample reply to illustrate, which are the words I picked for myself: "Local, private, adult education agency, full-time, literacy professional, administrator, adults, seniors, children, Education Specialist degree (Ed.S) -Debbie Yoho" Doing this over the holidays will be good for some people, bad for those away from their computers. Therefore, I shall post this message weekly through the end of January, to insure that everyone has the chance to reply. After you have responded, please ignore future repeated postings, with my apologies. NIFL moderators expect to meet in Washington sometime after the new year. You might also take this opportunity to add any suggestions, complaints, praise, whatever concerning our discussion group so that I can take that info with me to the meeting. Here are the words: National State Local Public Private Full-time Part-time Literacy professional Health professional Administrator Consultant Physician Instructor Tutor Health educator Patient educator Clinician RN Allied Health Social Worker Coordinator Writer/editor Counselor Nutritionist Dietician Librarian Rehabilitation specialist Therapist Fundraiser University Hospital Church Faith-based organization Public health Mental health Publishing Adult education agency Children's literacy agency School, grade 12 and/or below Social service agency Homeless Migrants Speakers of languages other than English (EL, ESL, or ESOL) Immigrants Corrections Youth Children Adults Elderly (seniors) Men Women HIV/AIDS Diabetes Cardiac Cancer Many thanks.
