Read/Write/Now participated in the 2002 Women, Violence and Adult Education project sponsored by World Education. We were pleased to be involved in this endeavor as it fits with our mission statement to help adult learners meet their own personal, family and community goals. This project was open to all students at Read/Write/Now. Since our program is co-educational, we felt it would be unfair not to include the men. We used a "team approach" with interested learners working in study circles and guiding the large group participation. Read the publications from this project. |
About 20% of Read/Write/Now's learners want to become U.S. citizens. The student leadership team is a group of these learners who conduct research on how the government of the United States is structured and the rights and responsibilities of citizens. They will write a booklet to share what they learn with fellow classmates. The team will compare pre and post surveys of their own and classmates knowledge to measure understanding gained after presenting their research. They will also participate in weekly two-hour citizenship preparation classes to help them work toward their common goal of attaining citizenship. |
