2. Eager to Learn - A Course on Family Literacy (1999)
Authors: Sharon Skage, Richard Engram, Darlene Scott
Eager to Learn has been designed as a resource binder. The course modules can be used independently from the research findings in other sections. The literature review and focus group results provide interesting and unique perspectives on how to plan and deliver family literacy programs of all sorts, not just those meant for a teaching environment.
The Eager to Learn course has been based on the belief that enrollment in ABE gives adult learners the unique ability to co-learn with their children or other young persons in their home environment. This is also true, of course, for parents enrolled in support programs and community outreach services. The course has continuing education applicability to early childhood educators and day care operators
Educators, Trainers & Group Leaders can use this resource binder to:
Deliver an 8-16 week course on family literacy
Raise awareness of parents' skills as teachers
Enrich the curriculum of adult learners
Help train daycare workers & early childhood personnel
Resource Binder includes:
Review of Literature
Focus group comments by parents & instructors
Learning Modules (8)
Evaluation Tips

Series: Adult Learners’ Week in Nova Scotia
Authors: Literacy Nova Scotia
Since 2008, Literacy Nova Scotia (LNS) has celebrated International Adult Learners’ Week (IALW) with a writing contest that represents the culmination of a series of workshops held around the province. The contest is open to workshop participants, as well as learners from other adult learning, English as a Second Language (ESL), seniors’, and workplace programs.
The contest has four categories, with a winner chosen for each one. The four winners are invited to read their submissions at a reception in Halifax.
This video features Earl Leslie, winner in the workforce development category. He reflects on how participating in academic upgrading and other programs gave him skills that proved to be invaluable not only in his workplace but also in his personal life.
Specifically, he talks about his work as a volunteer for a boys’ choir, which requires him to organize fundraising initiatives; arrange public performances; and maintain an inventory of uniforms.
He has also helped coordinate workplace education programs that focus on communication skills.
