[AAACE-NLA]New CAALpublication

[Gail Spangenberg]

May 12, 2003  -- New York, NY -- The Council for Advancement of Adult
Literacy has released a new publication, titled Equipped for the
Future: Tools & Standards for Building & Assessing Quality Adult
Literacy Programs.  Written by Gail Spangenberg and Sarah Watson --
the publication reviews the developmental history of EFF and
discusses its accomplishments, implementation, and work in progress.
Some 16 experienced national, state, and local EFF users were
interviewed for the publication.  Their responses and the questions
posed make up the main body of the new work.

A Foreword to the publication notes that one of CAAL's founding
purposes is to promote more effective policy, practice, and resource
development at the state level.  "In keeping with that broad
purpose," the Foreword says, "this publication tells a remarkable
story, about Equipped for the Future -- a singularly important
resource developed by the National Institute for Lteracy that can be
tremendously beneficial to states wanting to improve the
effectiveness of their adult literacy services."

The document it attached as a pdf file.  It can also be downloaded from
the CAAL website at http://www.caalusa.org.  At the home page, scroll
