[AAACE-NLA] Side-by-Sides, Titles I & II

[Gail Spangenberg]

Colleagues,

This posting contains three messages:  one with information about new 
federal side-by-side materials available in the CAAL web site,  one 
about two small articles on the community college role in adult 
education and literacy, and one about a developing electronic mailing 
list at CAAL.

(1)  SIDE-BY-SIDES FOR TITLE I AND TITLE II.  CAAL has just placed 
two side-by-sides in its web site regarding Title I and Title II 
federal reauthorization proposals.  We offer these documents for 
informational purposes and as a public service in partnership with 
the National Coalition for Literacy of which we are a member.  The 
side-by-side for Title I (44 pages) was prepared by CLASP and the The 
Workforce Alliance (January 2004).  The side-by-side for Title II (63 
pages) was prepared by Van Scoyoc Associates (December 2003) for the 
American Library Association and Proliteracy Worldwide.  (Note that a 
third side-side is presently being prepared by NAEPDC, the National 
Adult Education Professional Development Consortium.  It will be 
posted as soon as it is available.  To get the publications, go to 
www.caalusa.org, scroll down the middle column to the fifth item.  It 
will then be evident what to do to locate and download the two pdf 
documents.

(2)  TWO SHORT ESSAYS BY BYRON MCCLENNEY about the role of community 
colleges in adult education and literacy.  Dr. McClenney chairs CAALS 
Community College Task Force Project and is on the CAAL Board of 
Directors.  Go to www.caalusa, scroll down the left column to the 
second item under Community College Publications.  That will lead you 
to two downloadable pdf documents.

(3)  On the e-mailing list matter, please note that CAAL is further 
developing its electronic mailing list as a way to more fully and 
directly inform interested persons throughout the adult education and 
literacy field about our activities and publications.  Anyone who 
would like to be added to this e-mailing list can be, by sending an 
e-mail request to bheitner at caalusa.org.  In that e-mail, please 
indicate your full name, title, and institutional affiliation and 
address so that we will know with whom we are communicating.

Many thanks.
