My name is John Antonellis. I work at the Corporation for Business, Work & Learning (CBWL) in Boston, MA in the Workplace Learning Services department. I would like to invite you to particiapte in a brief survey which is looking at the professional development needs for workplace educators. Details follow below. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide! John Antonellis jantonellis@cbwl.org Corporation for Business, Work & Learning Boston, MA The details: The Boston-based Corporation for Business, Work, and Learning and the Massachusetts Association of Teachers of Speakers of Other Languages have established a cross-functional team of local workplace education teachers (i.e., basic skills and ESOL teachers), teacher trainers, business and labor representatives, researchers and policy makers in order to define what workplace educators need to know and be able to do and to specify how and where practitioners can develop these required skills and knowledge and demonstrate their competency. We are soliciting your input based on your knowledge and experience within the realm of Workplace Education. We would appreciate hearing from you before November 30, 2000 in two ways. One way is to answer the following five questions below: 1. What are the roles and responsibilities of workplace educators, including specific functions and tasks that they are expected to perform? 2. What should workplace educators know and be able to do to minimally perform their roles and responsibilities satisfactorily? 3. How (e.g., classroom-based training) and where (e.g., on the job, at the firm) can workplace educators most effectively develop the necessary knowledge and skills? 4. How can the knowledge and skills of workplace educators most effectively be assessed? 5. What mechanisms can be used to certify workplace educators or endorse their qualifications? Another way is to suggest any publications or unpublished materials that speak to the preparation and development of workplace education professionals. We encourage you to simply use the "reply button" on your e-mail. If you have any questions or would like to stay informed about future initiatives in this area, please let us know in your e-mail or contact us via phone at our numbers below. Thanks in advance for your assistance. John Antonellis (617) 727-8158, x1223 Johan Uvin (617) 727-8158, x1242
