[AAACE-NLA] PA Move Up video

[Tana Reiff]

Move Up (Intensive Adult Basic Education Services for Welfare Clients) is a
joint initiative of the Pennsylvania Departments of Education and Public
Welfare. I'd like to invite anyone interested in advocacy for adult
education to view the 7-minute video I made in June as a project for a
course in digital movie making. We've made it available on the PA ABLE Web
site, at www.able.state.pa.us/moveup. You also will find there more
information on the Move Up program.

In PA, we are showing this and a DVD version of the movie to workforce
investment partners, community stakeholders, and potential Move Up
participants.

This is an amateur movie production, but the students I interviewed make a
powerful testimonial to the value of adult basic education. I asked them
very general questions, such as "Why are you participating in this program?"
and their responses were rich and articulate. All six learners in the movie
volunteered to speak on a moment's notice. Only the teachers knew I was
showing up with a movie camera that day.

I welcome your responses the Move Up video.
