Good afternoon!

 

I was asked to introduce myself to the list. My name is Kim Bellerive. I
am the Assistant Director of the Greater Homewood Adult Literacy and
ESOL Program in Baltimore, Maryland. I began my work here as an
Americorps VISTA in August 2003 after a 4 year career as an elementary
school teacher. In the course of the past 9 years, I have worked with
individuals with diagnosed learning differences and what I suspected
were learning differences from the ages of 5 to 72. I hope to learn more
about specific instructional strategies that can be used to help adult
learners be successful in the classroom,  at work, and with their
families. I also would like to learn more about observable behaviors
that might serve as indicators to possible learning difficulties. I
think the biggest challenge the organization I work for faces is helping
our volunteer tutors know what to look out for and how to gear
instruction to fit the needs and challenges of adults with learning
differences.  

 

Regards,

Kim
