[AAACE-NLA] Adult ESOL Promising Practices

[Heide Wrigley]

Hi, Carl - in a new publication we just finished for the Center for Law
and Social Policy we list a number of programs that serve adult
immigrants who are new to Engish and transitioning to work. The policy
brief is at the link below and should have a reference to the full
report which contains the case studies - the are at the very end of the
full report  called  "The Language of Opportunity: Expanding Employment
Opportunities for Adults with Limited English Skills"  
 
http://www.clasp.org/Pubs/DMS/Documents/1062101599.5/LEP_brief.pdf
 
There are some additional programs that didn't make it into the
publication because we did not get a chance to do site visits but I can
tell you more about those in separate emails 
 
Good luck

	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.

	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
