We started with trying to address a problem in health educationand promotion. As we saw it, the problem was that low literacy adultsdo not benefit from existing health education and promotion because theeducation is disconnected from their everyday health concerns and questions. There are few health-education opportunities that provide psychologicallysafe and empowering environments for learning while simultaneously attendingto issues of literacy level. We placed the Operation Bootstrap students'health concerns, and their understanding and connection to those healthconcerns, central to our entire process. In doing so, we developedteaching and learning programs that moved beyond a set of instructionalstrategies to a model and a set of principles that could guide the workof others. Our intention became to put both ourselves and the OperationBootstrap students in a different relationship with health issues. Through accessing and understanding curren ... [Read More]

Teachers-adult literacy and remedial and self-enrichment education
Self-enrichment teachers teach courses that students take for pleasure or personal enrichment; these classes are not usually intended to lead to a particular degree or vocation. Self-enrichment teachers may instruct children or adults in a wide variety of areas, such as cooking, dancing, creative writing, photography, or personal finance. In contrast, adult literacy and remedial education teachers provide adults and out-of-school youths with the education they need to read, write, and speak English and to perform elementary mathematical calculations—basic skills that equip them to solve problems well enough to become active participants in our society, to hold a job, and to further their education. The instruction provided by these teachers can be divided into three principle categories: remedial or adult basic education (ABE) , which is geared toward adults whose skills are either at or below an eighth-grade level; adult secondary education (ASE) , which is geared towards s ...
