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 the National Council of State Directors of Adult Education. 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.
