[AAACE-NLA] Adult Literacy Leadership and Advocacy

[AWilder106 at aol.com]

Tom,

This is off the top of my head, but since this is Saturday morning my head is 
fairly relaxed   and happy, a mug of hot coffee helps.   As I see it, the 
common denominators are money and teaching skill.   We need to disseminate 
teaching knowledge, that should be a priority.   The other   item, money, is 
supplied by the feds, the state, local communities, businesses, foundations, 
community colleges--others?   Obviously there isn't enough.   David Rosen has 
suggested (I think) that each state should put together a network--link them up--of 
adult literacy programs. If this were done it would help with disseminating 
teaching knowledge and figuring out how much more money is   needed and how to get 
it.   Simple-minded but not simple to do.   Got to start with some simple 
ideas, maybe.   Do states already do this?   Community colleges, maybe?
