Because I just joined this list, I missed your discussion of Chapter 1. As I read Ellin's many questions in this chapter, I couldn't ignore the question that kept pestering me: How do those of us who choose to read To Understand, who believe in living the 'intellectually engaged life,' arouse the interest of our colleagues?
With the exception of my teaching partner, I cannot imagine one person on my staff who will make it beyond Chapter 1 of this remarkable text. Here we sit, in this group, reading, nodding, pondering, devouring, discussing, delving, exploring, learning, wondering. But how do we bring this wisdom to others? How do we help adults want to lead intellectually engaged lives? Forgive me if you've already discussed my question, Judy _______________________________________________ Understand mailing list [email protected] http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/listinfo/understand_literacyworkshop.org
