It's called "Tips for Teachers in Times of Trauma" Co-written by Myrna Ann Adkins of Spring and Erik Harper of the Rocky Mountain Survivors' Center (with assistance from other Spring Institute staff including Burna Dunn, Pamela Herlein, Erika Taylor, and Chris Tombari), it talks about how to balance the need to provide information while maintaining class content, gives ideas for debriefing with teaching and other staff following times of crisis, offers suggestions on caring for oneself, discusses the cycles of a crisis, and concludes with contact information for Treatment Centers for Trauma Victims. While the Spring Institute focuses on teachers working with refugee learners, the information in this brief document is useful for all who work with adults learners. It's available on-line at http://www.springinstitute.com/pages/whatsnews.html Also, for information on cross-cultural materials, including fact sheets on Afghanistan and the Pashto language, check out the Center for Applied Linguistics Website at http://www.cal.org/front/911.html Miriam Burt ******* National Center for ESL Literacy Education Washington, DC www.cal.org/ncle
