Hi! Via Twitter feeds, I learned about the LEARN act involving literacy education.
NCTE and NMSA are among the organizations involved in writing the bill, and NCTE is asking members to contact Senators in support of them. http://www.ncte.org/action/alerts/learn Stephen Krashen has blogged an alternative point of view on the English Companion ning: http://englishcompanion.ning.com/profiles/blogs/i-do-not-support-the-learn-act I have high respect for NCTE and NMSA, and I have high respect for Stephen Krashen. It's a little like being a child again and watching my parents fight. Anyway, I thought I'd put these ideas out there, either purely for your own information, or to be discussed here, whatever works for people. Take care, Bill Ivey Stoneleigh-Burnham School _______________________________________________ The Literacy Workshop ListServ http://www.literacyworkshop.org To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/lit_literacyworkshop.org.
