National Adult Literacy Database

This is a set of six information sheets, designed for adult literacy practitioners, on learning and violence. In general terms, all six sheets deal with the prevalence of violence and how its effects on individuals may be manifested in a classroom.

Each sheet begins with a sample journal entry by a teacher, describing a situation or the behaviour of one or more individuals in the classroom. Using that journal entry as a starting point, the author discusses possible causes for the behaviour and suggests ways to help everyone learn.
