Its mission is to provide news, issues, ideas and other teaching resources that inspire and enable adult educators and learners to make civic participation and social justice-related concerns part of their teaching and learning. Each issue of the 24-page newspaper focuses on a different social justice topic. Some of the past issues have been about the changing world of work, environmental health, immigration, and media literacy. "The Change Agent" includes a mix of articles and activities that are of interest to both teachers and students in adult education programs (GED, basic literacy, and ESOL). You can find a copy of each Change Agent plus an interactive web page with online activities related to the most recent issue at: www.nelrc.org. Spring 2001 issue theme: Economic Security and Justice Educators and Adult Learners: We are looking for lessons, activities, and student writings about economic security and justice issues. Some questions to think about: * Why is there a growing gap between rich and poor in the US? * Why is housing so expensive? * What accounts for wage differences between men and women; people of color and whites? * How are former welfare recipients doing? * What is our role as US consumers and world citizens in a global economy? * What can be done and by whom so more people can be economically secure? All articles must be received by May 1, 2000. All articles will be considered. Final decisions are made by The Change Agent Editorial Board.
