I do not have experience teaching haiku in adult education settings. However, I taught at the university level for several years and volunteered at a nursing home for 3 years. The university work was in teacher preparation programs (NIU and NEIU), in the 1980s and early 1990s. All my formal work was in special education. Then the good caregiving years and away for a time.

Are you able to use the free resources at The Haiku Foundation where you teach? In the haiku lessons I wrote with Jim Kacian, we integrated various features with the lessons. I was just looking at the Haiku Lessons for Grades 5 and 6: they link to the Montage galleries and the Video Archive.

Thanks for all your work as a poet, teacher, and Education Co-Chair.

On a personal writing note, handwritten notebooks have helped me a lot, along with blogs.

*
Best wishes, Ellen
