Join Literacy Source Co-Executive Directors Cat Howell and Shira Rosen for our annual Back-to-School Lunch & Learn, where we'll explore the conversations we're not having about adult education and gain a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing adult learners in Seattle.
During this one-hour conversation, we'll discuss why:
- The focus on workforce development is too narrow.
- Reading is a new skill for some of our students.
- We teach more than just reading, writing, and speaking.
| | DELN is funded by organizations committed to advancing digital equity and advocacy. | | | | |
