RECAP OF MAY:  READING CONNECTIONS CONTINUATION

May has continued to be a busy time for Montana ABLER's.  Many programs are celebrating with graduation ceremonies.  Thanks to hard-working ABLE professionals, students are continuing their journey in education:

• by enrolling in other classes.
• by taking parts of the GED.
• by learning to read, write, and do math.
• by learning to speak English.
• by overcoming their fear of learning.   

In fact, this has been a learning year for everyone in ABLE from OPI to MAACE to local programs.  Connections is not just a theme in reading; it's a theme for successful interactions and growth.  Working as a team has never been more evident than now.  We tell our students that teamwork is an important skill for the workplace, so let's continue to model for them how it can work.  May Montana ABLE continue to grow and become recognized for its professional value.  Onward and upward!

Summary and Evaluation

The seed for MT LINCS was first planted in 2000 as a part of Northwest LINCS.  The goal was to provide a vehicle of communication for Montana ABE.  Throughout the years, that communication has come in several forms for the state, professional organizations, staff, and students.  It can not be done without participation of all entities.  Yep, the connections must continue! 

 

MT LINCS will continue to send out brief informational updates throughout the summer.  In the meantime, you may want to think about what things MT LINCS may be able to do for you. 

 

Simply put -

1. What has been valuable for you from MT LINCS?
2. What connections do you need? 

Reply to this email with your thoughts and ideas.  Honesty is highly valued!
