1. ABE Teacher's Resource Guide (2001)
Collection: Learning Materials
This ABE Teacher's Resource attempts to present in one place information teachers would share with each other and seek from each other if time and distance permitted. It is a document made by teachers for teachers in an attempt to help all of our students learn. In this guide, the authors begin to define and describe the ever-changing face of Adult Education in the state of Florida. They offer learning activities from active classroom teachers who, just like you, covet each success in the classroom, no matter how small. All of the learning activities offered are correlated to the ABE Curriculum Frameworks. There are four separate books of learning activities, representing a vast majority of the required benchmarks in each area.
Contents include : Introduction; Teaching the Adult Learner; Classroom Resources; Recruitment and Retention; Learning Disabilities; Assessment; Professional Resources.

3. Annotated Bibliography of Aboriginal Books (2006)
Pre-School to Adult
Series: Annotated Bibliography of Aboriginal Books
Authors: NWT Literacy Council
Collection: Research Materials
Over the years, many people have asked us to put together a package of information on Aboriginal literature that is suitable for different age groups. That task, however, is not particularly easy. An extensive array of material is available nowadays, but should it all be included in such a list?
Considerable debate surrounds what is sometimes called “appropriation of voice” – when a person, no matter how sympathetic, depicts someone from another culture. We can only say that we have tried our best to be selective, and appreciate any feedback that people might have about our list.
