Workplace Literacy Discussion List Members,

 

Many thanks to all of you who have submitted your nominations for the
seminal resources in our field.  Below is a list of those received so
far.  Now that you see the list we have compiled, what is missing?  I'll
add others as you submit them.  

 

Also, note that the resources with ** in front of them, I have been
unable to locate so far.  If you know the bibliographic information for
any of these or the URL if they are online, please let me know so I can
update the list.  They are not all in true bibliographic format yet.

 

Donna

1.       No longer in print is Joan Friedenberg's Workplace ESL - A
Simple Guide to Program Planning and Implementation is a wonderful
primer for those just venturing into workforce-related instruction.  

 

2.      Several states, including Texas, have their own handbooks/guides
for both program admin and instructional staff new to workforce
literacy. Like many state's adaptations, I readily acknowledge, Texas'
Charting A Course handbooks "re-package" basic principles, strategies,
techniques that have been around for some time but with state-specific
needs and constraints in mind
