Authors: Adult Learning Association of Cape Breton County (ALACBC)

This is a collection of prose and poetry written by members of the Sydney Writing Circle, a group supported by the Adult Learning Association of Cape Breton County (ALACBC) in Nova Scotia. The group met for two hours each week to share their writing and improve their writing skills.

The collection includes short stories, poems, and personal narratives on a variety of topics. Several writers share recollections of their childhoods, in settings as diverse as rural Cape Breton and Czechoslovakia on the eve of the Second World War.

The collection also includes essays on such topics as political correctness, fear, and the growing presence of technology in everyday life.

While several writers describe themselves as beginners, the level of work in this collection is quite high and reflects care and commitment on the part of the writers.

Handbook For Facilitators

Authors: Wendy Magahay

The AWAL Guide: Handbook for Facilitators is essentially “AWAL in a box.” The background information, suggestions, and resources collected here are intended to provide you with the tools and support you need to understand, plan for, deliver, and benefit from an AWAL Workshop for your organization.

AWAL (Applications of Working and Learning) is a valuable and effective program that can result in strong benefits for both faculty development and curriculum resource development. Through meeting with and learning from employers and employees, AWAL provides a means for educators to incorporate into their own teaching practice an emphasis on the skills that Canadian workplaces have identified as essential.

However, AWAL is not intended to provide a complete examination of a job, and certainly not of the people who do those jobs.

Children need to read, write, talk and listen to become literate. They also need to have fun and share their ideas with their parents. Parents who have gone through this program have noticed a remarkable change in their relationship with their children.
