Subject: Re: [FamilyLiteracy] Reminder: Online Professional  
Development Opportunity


Will there be any family literacy professional development courses in  
the near
future. I will be teaching a family lit/basic ed class in the summer  
and would
like a refresher course.

Thanks,

Jackie Hamlett



Jackie,

Let me suggest a few possibilities from the National Center for  
Family Literacy (NCFL).

NCFL offers a variety of professional development opportunities  
including Foundations in Family Literacy  which provides an overview  
of family literacy. To see a schedule of upcoming trainings, visit  
www.famlit.org

Verizon Literacy Campus (VLC)  at www.literacycampus.org  offers a  
wide range of free online courses,including Family Literacy: The  
Intergenerational Approach to Learning.

Penn State’s Goodling Certificate in Family Literacy is another  
professional development opportunity you might check into. The  
Certificate is an online 15-credit program offering an Introduction  
to Family Literacy course as well as courses in children’s education,  
adult literacy and parent involvement. Visit www.worldcampus.psu.edu/ 
wc/familylit to learn more about course offerings. The new semester  
begins January 18, 2006.

NCFL’s annual Pre-conference and National Conference are good sources  
of PD opportunities. The Pre-conference is set for March 17 and 18,  
2006, with the conference following on March 19 – 21. They will take  
place in Louisville, KY. For more information, visit www.famlit.org  
and click on the conference icon.

If you know of other family literacy professional development  
opportunities Jackie and others might take advantage of, please let  
us hear from you.
