Texas Center for the Advancement of Literacy and Learning
(TCALL) is seeking authors both within and outside Texas
to submit articles for the December issue of our state's free
quarterly newsletter, Literacy Links.
Given recent natural disasters in the United States and
across the world, the theme is
"Literacy Programs Responding to Communities in Crisis".
We are defining crisis broadly, and as such, are seeking
articles that address how communities prepare, respond,
and cope with any number of crises.
If you are interested in submitting an article on this topic, the
deadline for completed articles is Friday, November 11.
Here are a few ideas to get you thinking.
* Even Start Programs Serve Hurricane Evacuees
* Adult English Language Learners and Disaster
Preparedness
* Rapid Response to Literacy Needs with Plant Closures
or Layoffs
* Refugees and Literacy: Program Response to Trauma
and Displacement
* Meeting the Literacy Needs of Homeless Adults/Families
* Helping Young Children/Parents in Family Literacy
Programs Cope with Traumatic Events
* Aiding in the Time of Need: Stories of Adult Literacy
Programs Responding after a Natural Disaster
* Picking up the Pieces: Adult Learners Experiences
During a time of Crisis
* Learning from the Crisis: Transformational Learning
Experiences
Word count for Literacy Links articles is generally in the range
of 850 to 900 words. Authors whose articles are accepted for
publication in Literacy Links are eligible for a $250 stipend.
(Submitting an article for consideration does not guarantee
that it will be accepted for publication.)
Past issues of Literacy Links can be read on TCALL's website.
