Help!!!
I just mis-fired my first entry to list-serve. I've never done this before. The
first copy was sent inadvertently before proof-reading for typos. Can you help
me? Following is the corrected message.
Let me know.

Service-Learning Folks,
The purpose of this communication is to inform interested people and seek active
participants in an upcoming workshop at the NSEE Conference taking place Oct.
22-25 in Kansas City. This workshop is entitled "Service-learning and the
America reads Challenge': The train is moving...on what kind of track?"
As we planned this workshop the America Reads Initiative was new, impacting
service and service-learning planning on campuses, elementary schools,
classrooms and teachers. Many service-learning folk were begin tapped to be
involved, with suddenly expanded portfolios, while in other cases people with no
service-learning connections were tapped. It was exciting and confusing last
winter. Suddenly there was a lot of new money being dangled for work-study.
There was political mileage in the concept. There were many questions and
concerns and practicalities about how programs would be structured, about new
collaborations and about to what extent the K-5 educators on the front lines
were being involved and how they would be partners, about working with financial
aid folk, about impacts on other service-learning programs etc.
Our vision for structure of this workshop is to facilitate a process that will
prioritize the content of discussion and enable participants to share resources.
In order for this to work, we need many people to bring materials about program
structures/models, and be willing to talk about challenges and concerns.
We want to identify some of you who are doing America Reads ahead of time who
would be willing to serve as resources/facilitators. Please contact us by
advising: Who you are and the nature of your involvement with America reads?
Are you willing to bring copies of your model? Let us know if you would be
willing to facilitate a table conversation or just say a few words about your
program. Thanks.
