[Nesabes] ABE Teacher's License Support Groups

[Bower, Carol]

SABES has been convening ABE Teacher's License support groups for
several years now.  License-seeking practitioners meet each month on the
same day of the month (e.g., First Fridays) to work together to develop
the portfolio they will submit to Mass DESE as part of the license
requirements.  Carey Reid, the SABES staff developer for this effort,
provides direct onsite support.  Attire is casual, and lunch is on the
SABES Central Resource Center.  Interested practitioners should have
at least 2,000 hours of classroom teaching experience, and a positive  
attitude.

There are four groups meeting now, so practitioners can pick a place
and day-of-month that works best for them:

First Fridays in Western Mass:  from 10-2 PM at the Holyoke Valley
Opportunity Council
First Saturdays in the Boston Area: from 10-2 PM at the Adult Literacy
Resource Institute Library at UMass/Boston
Second Fridays in Central Mass:  from 11-3 PM at the Worcester
Community Action Council
Third Fridays in Southeastern Mass: from 12-4 PM at Bristol Community
College in Fall River

These hours are open to negotiation by group members.

If you are interested in joining one of these groups, or if you have
any questions to be answered first, please contact Carey Reid at
creid at worlded.org or 617.385.3637.
