Publisher's Synopsis
Building Pride in Literacy brings a fresh hands-on approach to adult literacy professionals. It uses a conversational method so the practitioner can build skills and knowledge through self-directed professional development. Readers will learn ways to teach adults with low literacy and ways to conduct their own problem-posing, problem-solving research on teaching problems. They will see how today's programs have built on the rich history of adult literacy. Dr. Quigley says, ""Ours is a field of hope in a cynical, fearful time. This book will build pride in practitioners and across the field of practice and in policy.
