Someone had asked about the selection process of the EFF role maps
Woker
Citizenship/Community Member
Parent/Family Member
I'm doing this from memory, so there may be need for correction.
The first two role maps came out of National Educational Goal #6 in
preparing adults for the global economy and citizenship. With Barbara Bush
in particiular, family literacy was in the air as an obvious focal point.
When the 1500 or so students were surveyed by NIFL and the National
Education Goals Panel, I think, the students identified family themes as a
major area of interest. These two factors, I believe, led to family
education as the third role map--an obvious choice, in any event.
