At the 2015 Network for Public Education Conference in Chicago, Kristen Pursley, Bruce Neuberger, and I presented a panel entitled, "The Battle for Adult Education."The Conference was deep and powerful.
An AEM post on the conference is coming soon.
Cuts and reform in California Adult Education are part of a larger puzzle affecting every piece of Public Education in the US. To understand what is happening in Adult Education in California - and to influence it in a positive direction - we need to understand what is happening elsewhere - and we need historical context.
Historical context is what Kristen provided at our panel discussion. Kristen is a lead ESL teacher at West Contra Costa Adult School. She is a founding member of COSAS - Communities Organized to Support Adult Schools, a group that formed in response to the cuts six years ago and has met weekly since. She authors the Save Your Adult School blog, a priceless repository of facts and insight about Adult Education.
