What are some ways to build a public bridge between child and adult literacy? What assessment tools exist to account for increased parental involvement in their child's education, their child's and their own educational gains? We "know" intuitively that this is so, but policymakers need to "know" too. How can the NRS account for these kinds of outcomes? Perhaps the Tennessee Association of Adult and Community Educators' slogan, "Teach the Parent, Reach the Child," is a good place to start. What is the research that backs up this belief? What have been our experiences? We need invincible statistics combined with personal stories to build that bridge so both policymakers and average citizens will extend their support for children to their parents. How can the NIFL help? ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free web site building tool
