In an effort to begin addressing this gap, SRI International, with funding from CIRCLE, is conducting a survey of civic learning opportunities available within adult literacy and ESL programs. We are especially interested in how you are serving the civic learning needs of young people (16-24 years). How does your program promote student civic engagement? Is civic education a part of your curriculum? Do you have successful practices you would like to share? We invite you to participate in an online survey of civic learning opportunities available within adult literacy and ESL programs. It will take 15 to 20 minutes to complete; you may respond anonymously. The survey may be found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=3215669793 It will be available until Monday, December 20. The survey report will be made available on the web in February, 2005; the url will be announced on this listserv and emailed to those requesting it. Please take a few moments now to help us learn how the adult literacy and education system is serving the civic engagement and civic education needs of out-of-school youth (16-24 years), as well as its older adult population. You may help us further by distributing this email to your colleagues. Thank you for standing up to be counted!
