[MOSAIC] Choice Literacy/The Two Sisters

[Mary Jane Chesnutt]

Hi,

I have just discovered the Choice Literacy website 
(choiceliteracy.com).  A few articles are free, but it is mainly a 
by-subscription site...$30 for 3 months, or $99 for a year.  There are 
many excellent authors represented here, including  "The Sisters".  Many 
seem to have publishing links with Stenhouse, and it seems the site may 
be based in Maine, which would make sense.  Is anyone a member of the 
site, and can you tell me if you've found it worthwhile?

I'd also love to see the Sisters' new DVD about organzing classroom 
space called "Simply Beautiful".  If you've seen that, I'd welcome your 
comments as well.

Also, any comments of the Two Sisters' new assessment workshops using 
the CAFE acronym for assessment?  (CAFE=Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency 
and Expanding Vocabular.).  There's a one-day workshop I'm interested 
in, and would be glad to hear from anyone who has attended this 
particular workshop.

Thanks,
Mary Jane
