I didn't see an attachment. I am interested in attending the IALM conference - need the particulars ... where, when, costs ... in order to apply for travel monies.
Thanks,
Sarae (Sunny) Mathews, Ed.D.

>Dear List Members,

>

>I am in the process of planning an issue of "Focus on Basics" on numeracy. 

>

>If you've done any research on numeracy recently (teacher, action, academic,

>whatever) and think it might make a good article for the issue, please let

>me know. You can share it on list or contact me off list at

>b.garner4 at verizon.net

>

>If you know of any teachers or programs doing a spectacular job with

>numeracy, please let me know, on or off list.

>

>If there are any issues relating to numeracy that you think should be

>addressed in the issue, please let me know.

>

>If you would like to be on the editorial board for the issue, please let me

>know. Requirement: experience teaching math, willingness to read and share

>thoughts about articles as they go through their draft stages, ability to

>participate in about 10 conference calls stretched out over a three or four

>month period. 

>

>We offer a small stipend for both writing and editorial board participation,

>which in no way compensates you for the time you will put in. 

>

>I look forward to hearing from you,

>Thanks!
