This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.

Book Synopsis Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention by : Carol R. Rinke
Download or read book Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention written by Carol R. Rinke and published by IAP. This book was released on 2019-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Opportunities and Challenges in Teacher Recruitment and Retention serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding teachers’ careers across the professional lifespan. Grounded in the notion that teachers’ voices are essential for understanding teachers’ lives, this edited volume contains chapters that privilege the voices of teachers above all. Book sections look closely at the particular issues that arise when recruiting an effective, committed, and diverse workforce, as well as the challenges that arise once teachers are immersed in the classroom setting. Promising directions are also included for particularly high-need areas such as early childhood teachers, Black male teachers, STEM teachers, and urban teachers. The book concludes with a call for self-care in teachers’ lives. Chapter contributions come from a variety of contexts across the United States and around the world. However, regardless of context or methodology, these chapters point to the importance of valuing and respecting teachers’ lives and work. Moreover, they demonstrate that teacher recruitment and retention is a complex and multifaceted issue that cannot be addressed through simplistic policy changes. Rather, attending to and appreciating the web of influences on teachers lives and careers is the only way to support their work and the impact they have on our next generation of students.

Download or read book Improving Adult Literacy Instruction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virtually everyone needs a high level of literacy in both print and digital media to negotiate most aspects of 21st century life-succeeding in a competitive job market, supporting a family, navigating health information, and participating in civic activities. Yet, according to a recent survey estimate, more than 90 million adults in the United States lack the literacy skills needed for fully productive and secure lives. At the request of the U.S. Department of Education, the National Research Council convened a committee of experts from many disciplines to synthesize research on literacy and learning in order to improve instruction for those served in adult education in the U.S. The committee's report, Improving Adult Literacy Instruction: Options for Practice and Research, recommends a program of research and innovation to gain a better understanding of adult literacy learners, improve instruction, and create the supports adults need for learning and achievement. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction: Supporting Learning and Motivation, which is based on the report, describes principles of effective instruction to guide those who design and administer adult literacy programs and courses. It also explores ways to motivate learners to persist in their studies, which is crucial given the thousands of hours of study and practice required to become proficient.The booklet concludes with a look at technologies that show promise for supporting individual learners and freeing busy adults from having to be in a particular place in order to practice their literacy skills. Although this booklet is not intended as a "how to" manual for instructors, teachers may also find the information presented here to be helpful as they plan and deliver instruction.

Book Synopsis What We Know about Acquisition of Adult Literacy by : Helen Abadzi
Download or read book What We Know about Acquisition of Adult Literacy written by Helen Abadzi and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1994 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy education experience shows that literacy is not easily disseminated to adults and that the skills of newly literate people are notable. Dropout, mastery, and retention rates are about 50 percent at each stage, so the effectiveness rate of some projects may only be 12-15 percent. To find causes for the low effectiveness of literacy programs and possible methodological improvements that can increase the effectiveness, two literature reviews were conducted on the topic of literacy in general and on cognitive correlates of age and performance. Some of the findings were as follows: (1) illiterate adults face a combination of social, motivational, instructional, and cognitive obstacles that have not yet been researched adequately; (2) smaller-scale programs are more likely to be successful than larger programs; (3) adults can acquire basic literacy at any age, but functional literacy may become increasingly difficult to acquire with age; (4) if it is indeed harder for adults to acquire functional literacy, large programs should target out-of-school children and adolescents; and (5) methodological improvements can increase the effectiveness of literacy programs. The following improvements were recommended: increasing motivation, positive reinforcement early in the process, discussion of expectations with adults, development of in-class groups of different performance levels, application of reading and writing in context, increasing awareness of phonology, investment in teacher training, and division of tasks into manageable units.

Book Synopsis Learner Retention by : Jessica L. Chambers
Download or read book Learner Retention written by Jessica L. Chambers and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literacy in English is increasingly important for the success of U.S. immigrants. To address the issue of low literacy rates among immigrants, various family literacy programs have been developed throughout the country. Unfortunately, administrators and instructors of these programs often struggle with the low attendance rates of their students, thus the topics of learner persistence and retention have become prevalent in adult education. The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that affect attendance rates, and thus learner persistence, with adult ESL students in classes at San Diego elementary schools. This mixed-methods study uses questionnaires and unrecorded interviews with both learners in San Diego family literacy programs, and the administrators of these programs. Sixty participants from three different family literacy classes completed questionnaires focusing on demographics, and various situational, institutional, and dispositional factors that have been shown to affect persistence and retention. Each participant's responses and Fall semester 2009 attendance rates were statistically analyzed using Pearson correlation to reveal relationships among all factors. Attendance rates were calculated based on a participant's start date, so that even if a participant enrolled in class the last month of school, but attended every subsequent day, he or she could have a 100% attendance rate. Questionnaire results reveal that the majority of participants are middle-aged females from Mexico with less than ten years of formal education completed. Correlation analysis reveals that demographics did not have significant relationships with attendance rates, but five other variables did, including two barriers to persistence: not attending class due to work, not attending class due to housework; and two supports to persistence: liking the teacher, and enjoying learning. The strongest relationship was found with a participant's start date; participants who enrolled after the first week of classes had significantly lower attendance rates. These results bring up compelling issues to address at the institutional level, specifically concerning the integration of new students into class after the first week.
