The following resource has been added to the "LINCS Program Leadership and 
Improvement Special Collection":

A Community Action Guide to Teacher Quality
(Public Education Network, 2002)

- This guide is designed to help communities better understand teachers and 
teaching, as well as the community's role in achieving high-quality 
teaching. It is based on the experiences of eight local education funds - 
independent community-based advocacy organizations working to improve 
public schools and build citizen support for quality public education in 
low-income communities across the nation. *While written in K-12 context, 
the guide is easily adaptable to adult basic and literacy education.
