CORRECTION:

In the message below, sent to this list earlier today, the last two
bullet points under interest areas were inadvertently combined into one,
which made no sense!

Here is the message again, with that error corrected.

------------------------
You have less than 8 weeks to submit a presentation proposal for
COABE 2006 in Houston.  By the way, Houston escaped the worst
effects of Hurricane Rita.  By the time COABE comes around --
April 26-29 -- you won't be able to tell a bit of a storm passed through.

Download the Call for Presentations form on the conference website
(www.coabe06.org) and submit your proposal to TCALL no later than
November 18.

Remember that we are looking for presentations in these interest areas:
* basic literacy
* basic numeracy
* WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
* family literacy
* English as a Second Language
* volunteer/community-based literacy
* correctional education

...and these "strands":
* Improving Teaching and Learning Outcomes
* Integrating Technology and Instruction
* Linking Research to Practice
* Promoting Adult Educators as Leaders
* Advancing Change Through Education
