[AAACE-NLA] Early Childhood Education and Early Adulthood Education

[Thomas Sticht]

Andrea:

Life Cycles education policy recognizes the relationships beween education
of one generation across that generation's life cycle, e.g., birth to
death,  and hence values and supports adult education  as being as
important as childhood education, and also recognizes the relationships
between the education of one generation and its effects upon the
educability of a next generation, that is,  another life cycle. This
emphasizes the importance of adult education for parenting of a second
generation, and this can happen in Even Start type family literacy
programs, in adult literacy programs, in infant and childhood programs.
But most importantly the life cycles policy perspective brings into focus
the central importance of lifelong education, including literacy
education,  for adults across the lifespan rather than treating adult
education and literacy development as a marginalized,remedial, second
chance, temporary fix until childhood education is repaired and working
well.
