Rochelle Kenyon Moderator, NIFL-Learning Disabilities Discussion List _RKenyon721@AOL.com_ (mailto:RKenyon721@AOL.com) The newest issue of "Focus on Basics" is now on the web. Go to _http://ncsall.harvard.edu_ (http://ncsall.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...
