A new book by Allan Quigley !

A Dialogical Guide to Professional Development for Practitioners of Adult Literacy
and Basic Education

Building Professional Pride in Literacy brings a fresh hands-on approach to adult literacy professionals. It uses a conversational method so the practitioner can build skills and knowledge through self-directed professional development. Readers will learn ways to teach adults with low literacy and ways to conduct their own problem-posing, problem-solving research on teaching problems. They will see how today’s programs have built on the rich history of adult literacy. Dr. Quigley says, “Ours is a field of hope in a cynical, fearful time. This book will build pride in practitioners and across the field of practice and in policy.”

A New Website for the
Learning Circles Project
www.nald.ca/learningcircles/index.htm

In this project, we asked how community learning groups become inclusive places for lifelong learning.
How do these learning groups make learning possible for people who might be excluded from other learning environments because of their lack of formal education, their difficulty using written language, their ways of learning, the kinds of knowledge they want to pursue?

Come see what we found out.
