Re: [FamilyLiteracy 909] Re: Big Names in Literacy?Though not technically in the category of adult literacy, I might nominate for notable mention Raymond Wlodkowski, who studies all forms of adult education (not just literacy).  In 1999, he published the book Enhancing Adult Motivation to Learn: A Comprehensive Guide for Teaching All Adults. 

Similarly, one might mention Sharan B. Merriam and Rosemary S. Caffarella, who have recently published a third edition of Learning in Adulthood.

  If we are going to talk about family literacy, we certainly must include Sharon Darling!

    I consider Dr. Susan B. Neuman a big name in early literacy.  She is currently a professor at University of Michigan. We brought her to Miami for PD with early childhood, pre-k and kindergarten teachers, and for a presentation for parents at one of our family learning events.  She is fabulous.

    I am curious who you would consider to be big names in literacy, both historically and currently?
