Hello Julie and all,

Julie, I'm glad you asked, because I have been thinking a lot about a
particular FOB article and general topic. Although this may make 2 or 3
articles that get proposed for discussion this week, I hope to hear from
some of you.

 

I am interested in the FOB edition on Youth; in particular the article:

 

A Comprehensive Professional Development Process Produces Radical
Results

http://www.ncsall.net/?id=125

 

This article shares a model of professional development on teaching
youth in adult ed -- with what appears to be great success -- by the
Metropolitan Alliance for Adult Learning in Kansas City.

 

A few years ago, teaching youth in adult education seemed to be an
important area of concern. But I haven't heard much from the field about
it lately.

 

  -- How are we doing at serving this population in our adult education
and ESOL classes?

  -- What strategies have you all found lately that work in addressing
this population's need?

-- What professional development is being offered nationally, or in
programs or states on the needs of our youngest students?

 

Thanks in advance for your thoughts, Jackie

Julie asked: " I'll be away this week, rather suddenly, and have not
prepared an FOB

Article-of-the-Week. Would anyone out there like to suggest one?"
