The purpose of this Newsletter is to provide you with several important
updates on STAR and keep you informed throughout your participation in
this exciting pilot initiative. We also will be hosting a conference
call on January 4, 2006, at 2:30pm EST to answer any questions about
this update. At the end of the Newsletter you will find dial-in
information for the conference call and an updated STAR Contact
Information sheet.

# [Project Updates]{.smallcaps} 

### **New National Technical Assistance Team (NTAT) Member**

Chris Coro has joined the NTAT, representing the technical assistance
and capacity building component of the project. Chris will be leading
the training team over the next six months as they provide ongoing state
and local level technical assistance to STAR implementers. Prior to
joining the NTAT Chris provided technical support to Maine as their lead
capacity trainer. We know that Chris will bring a tremendous amount of
experience and insight to the STAR project.

### **STAR State Training Events**

All six pilot states have completed Part 2 of the STAR Toolkit Training.
Part 2 built on the concept started in Part 1 that "instruction begins
with assessment." The focus of Part 2 was on evidence-based
instructional practices for alphabetics, fluency, vocabulary and
comprehension highlighted explicit instruction (modeling, scaffolding,
guided practice, and application). Participants also were introduced to
the idea that differentiated instruction is an effective approach when
teaching a classroom of students who have different strengths and needs
in reading.

Parts 1 and 2 provided participants with the full scope of adult reading
reform. Participants then began planning possible changes needed in
their programs and classrooms to support the evidence-based practices.

***[State and Local Site Plans]{.underline}***

Members of the NTAT and the training team have been reviewing state and
local implementation plans. The plans from SD, CT & CA were reviewed on
December 8^th^ and the plans from ME, OH & IL will be reviewed on
January 12^th^. Each program administrator will be receiving a technical
assistance phone call to provide targeted feedback on their plan, and
discuss next steps. The implementation plans will be updated one more
time before the end of the pilot. Technical Assistance Trainers will be
in touch with each state and each local program. These individual calls
will be scheduled in the next several weeks.

***[Ongoing Technical Assistance]{.underline}***

Throughout the remainder of the pilot, each state and local program will
continue to receive technical assistance to help with the implementation
of STAR. A training team has been assigned to each state (see below).
This team will be providing individualized guidance on state and local
implementation issues. The team will be using phone calls and electronic
discussion boards to ensure that participants receive the support they
need throughout the pilot.

The STAR State Training Teams are:

-   CA Training Team -- Jane Meyer & Becky Wagner

-   CT Training Team -- Susan Finn Miller & Gail Lawson

-   IL Training Team -- Lori Forlizzi & Chuck Klinger

-   ME Training Team -- Amy Trawick & Chris Coro

-   OH Training Team -- Lori Forlizzi & Karen Mundie

-   SD Training Team -- Linda Thistlethwaite & Debbie Hrach

***[STAR Website]{.underline}***

In January we will be launching a STAR project Web site. Once the Web
site is launched it will be accessible at
[www.startoolkit.org](http://www.startoolkit.org/). There will be a
"members only" section that is password protected. Each person
participating in the STAR pilot will receive a password to gain access
to the member section. Within the password protected section we will be
posting STAR project resources and updates, and hosting online technical
assistance.

***[Technical Assistance Provided through a Cyber Office]{.underline}***

The online technical assistance will be accessible through a "Cyber
Office". The Cyber Office is intended to model the traditional notion of
college professor office hours, but tailored for an online learning
community. Each training team, partnered with the state professional
developer, will establish regular office hours when they will be in the
Cyber office and available to provide live coaching and guidance to
their state. To encourage pilot implementers to participate regularly in
the technical assistance offered through the Cyber Office, participants
will be eligible for a drawing that enters their name into a pool of
candidates who may be selected to attend a pilot wrap-up event. There
will be more information about the wrap-up event in the coming months.

***[STAR Program Administrator Study Circles]{.underline}***

In January, the STAR project will begin a series of study circles
designed to provide local program administrators and state professional
developers with a forum for exploring key adult education issues in a
collaborative setting.  STAR study circles will be run as "virtual
learning communities," in which eight to 12 participants interact
through online discussions moderated by an expert facilitator. The first
study circle topic will be Managing Enrollment; future topics may
include instructional leadership, institutionalizing diagnostic
assessment, professional development, and teacher planning time.

 

The goals of the STAR study circles are to

-   Introduce administrators to important research on practical issues
    they face in their day-to-day work.

-   Facilitate cross-site and cross-state sharing of experiences,
    discussion of problems, and identification of successful strategies
    and practices.

-   Generate concrete, research-based plans for implementing change in
    adult education reading programs.

In mid-January we will be distributing correspondence to the states with
information on registration and next steps for local program
administrators and state professional developers.

### **Evaluation Update**

The evaluation of the STAR initiative has now moved to the qualitative
data collection phase. Field research staff from the Westchester
Institute will be visiting participating local programs in two states.
These visits will occur during the months of January through March 2006.
A variety of data collection activities will be conducted, including
individual interviews of state and local administrators, teachers and
students; focus groups with teachers and students; and observations of
classroom reading instruction. Any questions or concerns should be
directed to Thomas Kelsh at the Westchester Institute. Tom's contact
information is listed below.

# [Next Steps]{.smallcaps} 

In an effort to support open communication on the project, we will be
sending out updates as needed and continuing to host quarterly state
conference calls with Cheryl Keenan and the OVAE leadership staff. The
next call, which will be hosted by Cheryl Keenan, is scheduled for
January 4, from 2:30-3:30 EST. The dial-in number for the call is
1-800-791-2345, code 12085#. Each state is provided
**[two]{.underline}** phone lines for the call, so please plan
appropriately. We strongly encourage state directors to be on the call.
We look forward to continuing to implement STAR with you. Enjoy your
holidays and we will talk to you after the New Year!
