The act of reading is a complex cognitive and
neurological task. As a species, we’ve only been
doing it regularly for a few hundred years, yet it is a
primary source of acquiring knowledge. Over the
next several months, the School of Adult & General
Education (SAGE) Reading faculty are offering a
four-course series designed to penetrate the
extensive theory and bests practices for teaching
adults to become successful readers of a wide range
of texts. Although the courses have been developed
primarily for SAGE Reading and English faculty
who will be teaching the new SAGE Integrated
Reading and Writing courses, any instructor who
requires students to read texts, articles or essays can
benefit from the courses. Each course will involve
some pre-reading, a four-hour workshop, and the
opportunity for online follow-up discussions. A brief
description of all four courses is available here.
Registration for Course #1, "Foundations of Adult
Developmental Reading,” is now open. The first
course takes place Friday, Nov. 13, at Main Campus
in Max Salazar Hall, Room 306 from 8:30 a.m.12:30 p.m. Pre-registration is recommended. Click
here to register.

Reminder
Sign Up for Emergency Text Alerts
If you haven’t already, sign up for “AttentionCNM,”
the college’s emergency text alert system. It’s the
fastest way to be notified about an emergency
situation at CNM or a weather-related closure or
delay. To sign up, log in to myCNM and look for the
“AttentionCNM” logo in the right column. Click on
the link and enter your phone and email information.
It only takes a minute, and it can be a very important
resource in an emergency situation.
