Overview Comment

“I must start by saying that I have serious concerns about the possibility and advisability of establishing an evidence-based adult education system. Yet, I understand the political necessity of doing so, and also want to think optimistically that doing so (well) actually would improve outcomes for learners. At this moment, in the current climate, we really can’t afford to say this is philosophically a bad idea and/or it can’t be done. While we may continue to advocate for changing the way things are, we better jump in and make things as good as we can given the current reality. If we don’t, someone else will and s/he won’t have a background in adult literacy education!” [Message 56, Part One]
