1. The USA Manual Writers Team has made considerable progress in organizing detailed outlines and content for the next phase of writing; secondly, members have begun to work in pairs as they write each chapter.

2. As we review and discuss the feedback from the USA Board “visioning” sessions held with our local groups; we are considering ways to follow through on specific requests to make distinctions between which practices work better in prison contexts compared to community contexts.

3. In partnership with AVP-I, we continue to build the online library structure to include specialized topics, AVP-Training online, and the Continuing Learning Library (or the Red Library).

4. We are continuing our plans for Education’s contributions to the virtual National Gathering in 2021.

5. USA Education continues to partner with AVP-International Education Committee to sponsor Community Circles that support facilitators worldwide in ongoing engagement in AVP training and related practices. Facilitators in various countries across the globe are using the Community Circles process to develop and discuss topics and concerns relevant to their respective geographical areas.
