RESDAC is approaching literacy with a more holistic perspective maintaining that adult learners need to develop skills in an integrated way. The model starts with an understanding of the context in which the adult learner operates.
Everyone wins when literacy practitioners help adult learners gain basic literacy skills and develop the confidence to enter into vocational programs.
Welcome to the first issue of the New Literacies at Work newsletter. Why Literacies? Because literacy is more than reading and writing. Literacy encompasses all essential skills from computer use to continuous learning to document use to working with others.
