This book was released on 2012 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper (40 pages), from Jay Derrick and The Centre for Literacy, examined some of the common models used to think about, debate and plan workplace literacy and Essential Skills (WLES) programmes. Derrick considers that literacy and Essential Skills are interconnected and argues for the adoption of a situated - expansive model where both are central to workplace learning and organisational development. Derrick provides examples of projects and programmes from a variety of contexts and countries, and a summary of the findings of research on successful WLES provision. Table of contents: * Preface: The two solitudes of workplace learning in general and Workplace Literacy and Essential Skills (WLES) * Researcher's Note * Introduction: Defining terms (Embedding. Literacy and Essential Skills. Employability Skills. Workforce Learning) * Embedded Workplace Literacy and Essential Skills: An analytical framework (The Wolf-Evans matrix. Workplace Literacy Education: Decontextualized and contextualized approaches. Expansive and Restrictive workplace environments) * A four-model analytical framework (The Decontextualized Model. The Technical Model. The Situated-Restrictive Model. The Situated-Expansive Model. Towards a Situated-expansive Model: Hypotheses for the future) * Conclusion * Bibliography * Websites referred to in the text * Appendix 1: Questions to consider (developed for the 2011 Summer Institute in Montreal).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topic of embedded literacy, closely connected to embedded learning on one hand, and training in the workplace on the other, is a central theme for reflection on adult education in Europe and around the world. The Council of Europe indicates knowledge as a pivotal element for the economic and social development of the EU countries and the workplace is an important place for the learning and production of know-how and knowledge. The problem of achieving the competences needed for entering the current labour market concerns a large part of the adult population. And this is where embedded literacy comes in, a topic which the volume tries to deal with from a twofold viewpoint: through theoretical reflection outlining the theme against the development of the European labour market, and reflection on hands-on experiences resulting from a project financed by the European Community called CELiNE, Content Embedded Literacy Education for the New Economy, carried out between 2007-2009.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report (66 pages), from Tracy DeFoe and Diana Twiss, describes the findings from an action research project investigating strategies for developing sustainable, practical workplace literacy programmes. The goal was to find ways to help employers understand that literacy and essential skills should be part of everyday workplace training (instead of one-off or special events). The researchers found that the secret to sustainable programmes is listening to stakeholder needs, understanding the client's business and the environment in which they operate. The researchers summarise the project findings into four lessons: listen and learn, engage people in embedding, embed every which way, and repeat the cycle again. Table of contents: * Lesson one: Listen and learn * Lesson two: Engage people in finding opportunities to embed * Lesson three: Embed every which way (in training materials and methods, in work documents and processes, in communications and display, in normal work life) * Lesson four: Repeat lessons one, two and three * Concluding remarks.

Download or read book Improving Literacy at Work written by Alison Wolf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-11-08 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern societies demand high levels of literacy. The written word is pervasive; individuals with poor literacy skills are deeply disadvantaged; and governments are increasingly pre-occupied with the contribution that skills can make to economic growth. As a result, the basic skills of adult workers are of concern as never before, a focus for workplace and education policy and practice. While Improving Literacy at Work builds on detailed research from the UK, the issue is a universal one and rising skill requirements mean the conclusions drawn will be of equal interest elsewhere in Europe, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The research findings have very direct implications and practical relevance for teaching and learning, as this valuable book demonstrates, providing clear advice on how to develop effective provision and how best to support learners at work. Throughout the study, the authors address the following fundamental questions: How do adults’ literacy skills impact on their working lives, and on the enterprises where they work? How can we develop these essential skills in the workforce? When and how can literacy instruction change individuals’ employability and engagement with further learning? Essential reading for trainers and managers in industry, teachers, researchers and lecturers in adult and further education and stakeholders implementing evidence-based policy, this book maps the fundamental changes taking place in workplace literacy.

Book excerpt: Literacy or basic skills instruction for the workplace is a new and evolving field of practice for trainers, program planners and other partners in business, industry and education. With the growing gap between workplace demands and workforce skills increasing, there is now a need to ensure that employees with basic skills deficiencies have education and training opportunities. Exactly how to go about this endeavour has been an area of concern for both employers and union leaders alike. Basic Skills in the Workplace is a response to this need. It is a useful resource and day-to-day practical g.
