Hello, everyone.
 
I'm happy to announce that there will be a focused discussion on this
list during the week of January 12 -16, 2009. 
 
The topic to be discussed will be issues in managing programs for adult
English language learners. 
 
Three current or recent managers - all former adult ESL teachers - will
address successes and challenges in moving from the classroom to the
manager's office. MaryAnn Florez of Washington, DC; Donna Kinerney of
Montgomery County, Maryland; and Brigitte Marshall of Oakland,
California, will be guest facilitators. They will describe their path
from teaching to managing programs and will answer questions from
participants on skills, experience, and training needed for those
managing programs serving adult English language learners.

 If you have colleagues who may be interested in joining the list for
this discussion, please forward this to them and invite them to join! 
 
Stay tuned in the next few days for information about another upcoming
discussion - this one in late January -  on issues in working with adult
English language learners with limited literacy in the native language.
