The newest issue of "Focus on Basics" is now on the web. Go to
http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu and click on the "Focus on Basics" box at
the bottom of the page to get there.

The topic? Workplace Education. 

Find out whether workplace education programs continue after the initial
government grant is over.
Read about ethnographic research in workplaces that documents that a
literacy activity cannot be disengaged from the broader work task, nor
can it be considered independent from the written and unwritten rules of
the culture of a particular workplace. Then read about how programs put
this insight into practice.
See what it takes to keep a workplace education partnership strong for
more than 10 years.
Find out how a workplace education program can be a fabulous marketing
tool.
Learn how approaches to workplace education content have evolved over
time.
For innovation in math, go to Washington, DC, where the paycheck
received by participants in workplace education programs motivates them
to learn about financial planning, investing, and home ownership.
For policy ideas, read about how states build identity, enhance
expertise, provide financial support, increase accessibility, and
promote collaborations to strengthen workplace education as part of
their overall adult education efforts. Then read about one experiment in
making workplace education available to very small businesses.
Travel from Colorado to Connecticut and beyond...
