The Massachusetts Worker Education Roundtable has designed a Workplace
Health and Safety ESOL Curriculum to help ESOL students (English for
Speakers of Other Languages) learn about and exercise their workplace health
and safety rights. The curriculum can be adapted for various ESOL levels or
Adult Basic Education (ABE) classes.

The curriculum uses learner-centered activities that engage students in
discussion, elicit and build on their experiences as workers and encourage
critical analysis and strategies. To view and download this curriculum, go
to www.umass.edu/roundtable.

The curriculum is based in part on the Workers Rights Pilot Curriculum by
the University of Massachusetts Labor Extension Program. The Workers Rights
Pilot Curriculum is designed for trainers and other staff of unions and
community-based organizations who need to inform workers of their basic
rights under Massachusetts Law. The Roundtable has designed lessons that
make the Pilot Curriculum's information more accessible to ESOL students.

Please forward this announcement!
