Subject: [FamilyLiteracy 449] New Focus on Basics



It's with pleasure and sadness that I announce that there's a new issue
of "Focus on Basics" now available at
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=1150

The pleasure? It's a great issue. The sadness, it's the last issue.

 

It includes articles from a variety of NCSALL researchers on their
research:

--John Strucker on the need for curriculum structure --Steve Reder and
Clare Strawn on the tendency for adults without high school diplomas to
study on there own, and what that means for adult basic education.
(Molly Robertson and Lauri Schoneck write about programs that capitalize
on the motivation to "self-study") --John Tyler on whether GED attainers
are entering postsecondary education at a rate on par with regular high
school completers --Rima Rudd and Jennie Anderson on why it's so hard to
find your way around in healthcare facilities and what we can do about
it --Cristine Smith, Mary Beth Bingman, and Kaye Beall on lessons
learned from ten years of disseminating research Enjoy!

 

After ten years of research and development, the National Center for the
Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL) project is coming to an
end.  NCSALL's dissemination efforts will end in March 2007.  The Web
site (www.ncsall.net) will remain available for free downloading of
NCSALL materials.

 

Due to our limited budget, we have discontinued the production of Focus
on Basic:  

    Volume 8, Issue B, "Learners' Experiences" was the last
issue published in print.  

Subscribers: Your subscription(s) of "Focus on Basics" ends with this
issue and we will issue a refund for undelivered issue(s). You will
receive an email from Caye Caplan that will explain how to file for a
refund.

    Volume 8, Issue C, "Self-Study, Health, GED to
Postsecondary, Disseminating Research" is the last issue of Focus on
Basics. It is the only issue to be "internet only". It is posted on
NCSALL's Web site only at http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=1150

    All issues of "Focus on Basics" will continue to be
available on the NCSALL website at
http://www.ncsall.net/index.php?id=31.  

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support
throughout the years.  We hope that you find "Focus on Basics" useful
and will continue to use it as a staff development tool and for program
design guidance.  If you have any questions about the refund process,
please contact Caye Caplan at ccaplan at worlded.org.

Editor, "Focus on Basics"
