Subject:          Carnine in Illinois




     A morning lecture series given by Dr. Douglas Carnine on April 20, 1998,
should be of interest to general and special educators, school administrators,
school board members, and reporters who want to learn more about current
educational issues which are troubling parents, and consumer parents who want
to hear and learn about positive solutions to their concerns.  We are so lucky
to have Carnine, the Director of the National Center to Improve the Tools of
Educators at the University of Oregon come to speak in Illinois. I would
heartily suggest that parents on the Loop encourage their local reporters and
open-minded school administrators to attend. Carnine is an engaging speaker
and weaves in principals of effective instruction and responsible curricular
decision making as he talks about current educational policy around the
country.  One doesn't have to make reservations; just show up for the
lectures.  I'll provide the details and specifics about each lecture below.
