Barb,
I would be interested in being a member of the editorial board.  I have been
an ABE/GED instructor for the past 13, almost 14 years and before that
taught eighth grade science and/or earth science for eight years.  I always
told my students that you can be a mathematician without knowing any
science, but you can't be a scientist without knowing any math.  
In addition,I am the local Adult Numeracy Network representative (not that
this position requires much on my part).  I have been in a program called
Teachers Investigating Adult Numeracy (TIAN)for the past year.  Arizona is
one of four states involved with this program.  We are working with Mary
Jane Scmitt whom I have encountered a number of times at numeracy workshops
at COABE conferences.
If there is any information I can provide, let me know.

Subject: [FocusOnBasics 1033] FOB on Numeracy

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!
Barb Garner
Editor, "Focus on Basics"
