[NLA] Re: Reading Instruction and Policy Advocacy

[Jon Randall]

On 9/11/2002, In response to Eileen's post of 9/10, Art wrote: "Those of us
in the adult literacy classrooms see the results of both daily and realize
fully that both are required, not recommended ..."

So would the appropriate advocacy position be to tell Congress and the
Administration: "We need and appreciate information about promising
practices but urge you not to dictate instructional methods. Rather, hold
providers accountable for results. Re: instructional methods: it's not
either/or. It's knowing when it is best to use various methodologies during
the course of each learner's instruction."
