[AAACE-NLA] Action for NIFL

[Jackie Taylor]

Colleagues:
Some of you have informed me that the formatting did not translate through correctly with the earlier post from the AALPD Executive Board.  I have made some adjustments; let me know if this still does not come through.  Please revisit the important message below.
 
Thanks,
Jackie Taylor

ACTION: Preserve NIFL's Focus on Adults/Families

Endorsement of Save NIFL Campaign
 
Adult Basic Education and Literacy Practitioners and Professional Developers:
 
The Executive Committee of the Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers (a network of people interested in professional development for adult basic education teachers) strongly urges you to join us in taking action now to preserve NIFL's focus on adults and families during WIA Title II reauthorization. NIFL has produced multiple and valuable resources for teachers (Equipped for the Future, LINCS, NIFL Discussion Lists, Bridges to Practice), and we as professional developers use these resources to fulfill our role as the main force in our field behind teacher preparation. We need to act together in keeping those resources vital and accessible to the adult basic education and literacy teachers we serve.
 
We strongly encourage you to go to the Save NIFL Campaign website at http://www.savenifl.org/
 
Using the information at that site, contact your legislators now. Then, email the campaign organizers at savenifl at yahoo.com and inform them of:
 
1. The action you took;
2. Any comments/questions the legislators may have.
 
Your name will then be listed on the website in the Advocacy Hall of Honor (although you may, of course, remain anonymous). However, the important point is to take action now.
 
Thank you,
 
Cristine Smith, Chair
Jackie Taylor, Vice-Chair
 
For the Executive Committee,
Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers
