Here is a message from Barb Garner, Editor, "Focus on Basics"

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"
