If you are an ABE or ESOL teacher, or know teachers who might be interested, please read the following announcement. Please also help me spread the word about this interesting and enriching opportunity by forwarding this announcement to others. Thank you for your help. Sabrina Kurtz-Rossi World Education 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 Application Instructions: Please respond to the following questions.
