Hi Everyone,

As you know, it is the last week of the FOB list :(... 

I would like to start our goodbye process by saying a huge thank you to you all. You have been a thoughtful, conscientious, intelligent, questioning and dedicated group. You have been generous with your time, your opinions, and your experience to help our community process new research, new ideas and new methods of teaching and reaching out to adult learners.

I also want to to thank Barb Garner, the editor of Focus on Basics for its entire 11 years. She has turned out over 30 issues, filled with useful, timely and practical articles that bring adult literacy and learning research into the practical arena. She has done a fantastic job, and I know that FOB has been appreciated and loved my many.

Barb is joining us this week to answer questions and remind us how to access past issues of FOB.

I invite you all to ask questions if you have them, and to share any reflections you have of this list and how the discourse on it has affected you, your teaching and your programs over the years. 

Fondly,
Julie
