>Hello all,

>

>I wanted to make everyone aware of a wonderful opportunity.  June Crawford 

>from the National Institute for Literacy has informed state directors of 

>adult education of the upcoming Bridges to Practice Train-the-Trainer 

>module scheduled in Kansas City, Missouri.

>The module consists of a 5-day Part 1 training followed approximately 3 

>months later by an additional 5-day Part 2 training. These training 

>sessions are provided at no cost to the state training team of 3 to 5 

>members.  All travel, hotel, meals, miscellaneous travel expenses and 

>Bridges to Practice training materials are covered by the National 

>Institute for Literacy.

>

>We have given first preference to adult education programs at the State 

>level, but any spaces that are not taken will be offered to other literacy 

>groups and/or workforce development centers, etc.

>

>If you are interested, please let us know immediately so we can make the 

>travel plans with your team.   Teams must attend both weeks and must 

>complete a contract with NIFL that indicates they will provide follow-up 

>training to at least 30 additional persons.

>

>We do have room in the Kansas City sessions on these dates:

>

>February 21-25, 2005     and May 16-20
