RE: Fw: DAEL Vacancy Announcement for Math Specialist

I share the enthusiasm of Iddo and Mary Jane over this action at OVAE to
hire a mathematics specialist. In indicates that, at the federal level,
they recognize the growing importance of mathematics in adult education.
Members of ANN have been actively involved in influencing policy over the
years. We owe the principal players our thanks and offer them
congratulations in this victory. ANN will certainly support the individual
who is hired and will continue to offer our "cumulative wisdom" to further
the cause of adult numeracy.
Risking the chance that this might sound a bit like another campaign
speech,
I want to note that while it is vital that numeracy be considered
important
at the federal level, it is at the state and local program level that all
of
us can contribute. Ask your managers to provide staff development
opportunities in mathematics, encourage your colleagues as they work on
improving their instructional strategies, be open to ways you can refine
your own techniques. Keep your membership in ANN current and attend our
annual meetings so that you can contribute to this growing trend.
Thanks,
Myrna Manly
President, ANN

This is great news. Seems various behind the scenes activities yielded
fruits.
As this is a turning point, I do hope that ANN, in its infinite wisdom,
will find ways to encourage the chosen individual (and OVAE) to engage in
consultative processes to benefit from the cumulative wisdom of ANN
members
and others, and join in planning of proactive activities.
It is in the best interest of the numeracy/literacy field (and of
ANN...) that this individual is given as much constructive support as
possible, to ensure that his/her activities in this area have a measurable
impact and ensure permanency of such a post.
