FY 01 EL/Civics Allotments Set
OVAE announced state FY 01 funding amounts for EL/Civics totaling $70M
yesterday. The FY 01 Consolidated Appropriations Act reserves $70M from
adult education state grant funds for "integrated English literacy and
civics education services to immigrants and other limited English proficient
populations." This year all states get funds, with a minimum allotment of
$60,000. States receiving EL/Civics funds for the first time this year must
submit a state plan revision indicating how EL/Civics funds will be used and
must hold a new competition for the funds.

CTC Project Directors Meet
More than 100 leaders of currently funded Community Technology Centers
projects met last week in San Diego with Division of Adult Education
Director Ron Pugsley and staff to assess current progress of their multiyear
grants. Items under discussion included: promising practices; barriers to
implementing technology; evaluation; and opportunities to expand CTC
services. The President's plan to consolidate the CTC program into
Educational Technology Grants--and other Congressional options for the
program--are still on the table.
Projected CTC Response Ups Reader Demand
If you're an expert in applying technology in education--and are not going
to be paid by or prepare an application for the Community Technology Centers
(CTC) Grant Program--join us as a proposal evaluator. We're expecting a
large number of incoming proposals for review. We need up to 400 readers to
work from office or home online during mid-August to mid-September. Each
person will review 10-12 applications and participate in panel discussions
via telephone conference calls. Send nominations to april.blunt@ed.gov
<mailto:april.blunt@ed.gov> or call 202-205-9685 for details.
MA State Board Creates Adult Basic Ed Teachers' License
The Massachusetts State Board of Education voted recently to create an ABE
Teachers' License, says State Director Bob Bickerton. Whether a license is
required is up to the local hiring officials and it will not be required by
the state. New adult education teachers who want or need to pursue the ABE
license will be required to take a test similar to the Massachusetts exam
public school teachers now must pass to earn or renew their licenses.
Teachers with five years experience in adult education who want to pursue an
ABE license do not need to take the test. Teachers with a year's experience
in adult education and a K-12 license also are not required to be tested.
