X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Status: O Content-Length: 1279 Lines: 35 Dear subscribers, Although two subscribers have recently suggested that a subgroup be created to discuss "workplace literacy", that is the intent of the existing list. I am delighted that this conversation is taking place and hope that it continues. It seems that the differences between "educators" from adult basic education and "trainers" from industry are often both philosophical and practical -- and both impact the nature of learning in the workplace -- be it either learning how to do a specific job or developing broader work-related or personally useful foundation skills. Discussion around these differences should be useful to everyone subscribed to the list. Are there aspects of "education" and "training" philosophy and instructional methods that can be integrated to better serve both employers and workers? ****************** Barbara Van Horn NIFL-WORKPLACE List Co-Moderator Assistant Director Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy College of Education The Pennsylvania State University 102 Rackley Building University Park, PA 16802-3202 Phone: 814-863-3777 Fax: 814-863-6108 E-mail: BLV1@PSU.EDU "The only thing worse than training good employees and having them leave is NOT training your employees and keeping them."
