Hi Janet,

It's great to hear from you! I hope it's not too late to address your
question.

 

The National Literacy Summit 2 was publicized primarily through
ProLiteracy. I could not attend the webcast and I had asked that they
alert me when it is archived, hence my message below.

 

It is my understanding that the National Literacy Summit 2 addressed
research-based practices in literacy across the lifespan, so the
targeted audience is a mix of literacy professionals from early
childhood to adult education and literacy. Included in the webcast was
the release of a matrix that looks at literacy outcomes, appropriate
instruments for measuring the outcomes, and effective research-based
practices and strategies for helping programs and practitioners use
research in strengthening literacy across the lifespan. Given that, I
thought others would be interested in exploring this resource further.
I'm certainly interested in anything that may indeed help others to
understand and judge research, and I hope others on this list will share
their questions or critiques of this instrument:

Here's the link to the webcast:

(and click on the National Literacy Summit weblink in the lower lefthand
corner).

 

I'm interested in your thoughts on this.

 

Best, Jackie Taylor

Jackie

Was this a publicized event, or have I (and maybe others?) been so
occupied with literacy and other work that the summit somehow passed us
by?  Or, (looking at the names of presenters/speakers and seeing few
adult ed folks) maybe this was the not-necessarily adult literacy
summit?

thanks for letting us know about it.  Was anyone here able to attend?
feedback?  

Janet
