The purpose of this Wiki page is to archive the virtual sessions of the WIA Community Conversations hosted across all of the National Institute for Literacy's Discussion Lists

Since these pages are manually updated, there will be lag time between when a message is posted to a discussmon list and when it appears in the appropriate category in the "List Discussions" box on the right. The advantage of viewing the posts here is that they will be threaded. But to find the most recent postings, check out the automated archives for the discussion list of your interest by visiting: http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/discussions/discussions.html

Description

What are the real issues impacting adult learners, practitioners, and programs in adult education today? Brenda Dann-Messier, the Assistant Secretary of the Office of Vocational and Adult Education, invites you to participate in a conversation January 11-15, 2010 about reauthorization of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA). The Obama Administration is preparing for WIA reauthorization and has asked the National Institute for Literacy’s Discussion Lists to engage in a candid and constructive discourse about what the field’s successes and needs are in providing adult education programs and services. The Administration is particularly interested in hearing feedback from discussants around 2-3 questions specific to each discussion list topic.
