[AAACE-NLA] Adult ESOL Promising Practices

[Carl Guerriere]

Our organization is compiling promising practices in literacy.  We are
looking for quality adult ESOL programs/models that are not workforce
related or where workplace ESOL is the major focus of the program.  We would
be interested in programs that include quality assessments, have innovative
curricula, use technology, and can document improvements in English
proficiency.

Subject: RE: adult ed K-12 links on aaace list

For some time I have pondered the value of actively fostering
collaborations and dialog between the K-12 systems and adult ed, as have
many in our field. Even in places where both programs are run by the
same
school district, there is little contact between the two.

One place where a start might be made is to request that adult ed
teachers be allowed to attend inservice sessions designed for high
school teachers that seem relevant. As district employees, they can
hardly be barred! But first the adult ed teachers need to have the
attitude that they can and should both share their knowledge in such
sessions as well as seek out input from the high school people.

Any other ideas?
 Best, Debbie
