What's New at the Equipped for the Future Center?
The EFF Center continues to work with programs and states nationally on a
variety of projects. You can see what's happening by checking out the
calendar of events at:
http://www.nifl.gov/cgi-bin/lincs/calendar/calendar.cgi?filter_sc=5
It has now been a year since we launched the new EFF website:
http://eff.cls.utk.edu/
There have been many updates made in the past year so I would encourage you
to take a look if you haven't visited recently.
Here are just a few of those updates:
1) Two publications have been added:
http://eff.cls.utk.edu/products_services/online_publications.htm
a. The Winter 2005 issue of HOT Topics with a focus on the standard
Use Math to Solve Problems and Communicate.
b. Research to Practice Note #4: An Approach to Assessment Based on
Cognitive Science
2) The EFF Teaching/Learning Toolkit has several new Examples and
supporting Tools/Supports: http://eff.cls.utk.edu/toolkit/
The Toolkit will continue to be a growing resource with more examples in
different settings (ABE, ESOL, Family Literacy, GED, Corrections) and with
different standards.
3) Each of the EFF Standards now has a downloadable pictorial
representation available courtesy of Tacoma Community House in Washington.
The pictures were originally developed for use with ESOL learners but
certainly have other
applications. http://eff.cls.utk.edu/fundamentals/16_standards.htm
4) Updated Spanish translations for the Standards:
