LINCS Health & Literacy Mini-Grants

Adult basic education student/teacher teams to develop lesson plans or
learning activities using the Health & Literacy Special Collection
Website at: www.worlded.org/us/health/lincs. ABE and ESOL teachers and
students are encouraged to participate.

Purpose:

In a recent user evaluation of the Health & Literacy Special
Collection, teachers said it would be helpful to see how other teachers
have used the Website with their students.  World Education, with
funding from the National Institute for Literacy (NIFL), is offering the
LINCS Health & Literacy Mini-Grants to ABE and ESOL teacher/student
teams to develop lesson plans or learning activities based on their
experience using the site.  We will then web-publish final products for
other teachers to access.

Responsibilities:

Establish your student/teacher team.  Teams that include one teacher
and more than one student are encouraged.
Develop a health and literacy lesson plan or learning activity that
uses the Health & Literacy Special Collection.  Teams in which the
teacher and student(s) develop activities together are encouraged.
Document your reactions and your students' reactions to the site and to
the activities you tried.
Revise your lesson plan or learning activity, if necessary, and submit
a final product.

Grant Benefits:

Six grantees will each receive $500 stipends.
Technical assistance as needed.

Timeline:

Applications due February 14, 2003
Awards announced by February 28, 2003
Final products due May 30, 2003
