This study, prepared under the auspices of the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL), is one of a series of reports on the state adult learning in Canada. The reports were intended to offer a knowledge baseline for the Adult Learning Knowledge Centre, which had recently been established at the University of New Brunswick.
Community Impact Evaluation and Literacy Practitioner Impact Evaluation
In 2004, Literacy Alberta and Bow Valley College partnered to develop a two-part training course for practitioners working in the literacy field. The first part of the project involved the design and development of the course and the practicum, while the second part saw the delivery of a pilot of the course to 11 “literacy specialist” participants from 11 different Alberta communities.
This paper discusses the following seven adult literacy education pioneers in the United States: Harriet A. Jacobs, Cora Wilson Stewart, J. Duncan Spaeth, Frank C. Laubach, Paul A. Witty, Francis P. Robinson, and Septima Poinsette Clark.
