Adult and Family Literacy |
 |
In this era of accountability and shrinking resources, adult and family educators face the enormous challenge of balancing the sometimes-competing demands of funders with the goals of learners.
To help overcome this dichotomy, consider a lesson from the business community. Effective businesses organize their fundamental priorities in the order of people, products, and profit. When a business provides appropriate support and resources to its employees, the employees, in turn, deliver outstanding products and services. Customers then receive high quality products and services – directly impacting business profit.
What is the connection to adult and family education? Providing professional development opportunities to educators will result in high quality services for their learners. Learners will remain in programs long enough to achieve their education, employment, parenting, and other goals. Successful outcomes of learners will satisfy the needs of funders, leading to continued and, possibly, increased funding.
Below are a variety of resources – Hudson River Center products as well as other useful links – that will help educators enhance, enrich, and expand the delivery of high quality instruction to adults and families.
