In recent decades, government policies in many countries in the Anglosphere have narrowed the focus of adult literacy and numeracy programs to employability skills training, and a competency-based training (CBT) model with tightly defined outcomes within accredited training. This reduces both the scope of programs and teachers’ and students’ agency to tailor the programs according to the students’ needs, interests and aspirations. From research and our experiences, we know that many adults want more than ‘basic skills’ when they attend adult literacy and numeracy classes. Often their needs and goals include reducing a sense of social alienation, building self-confidence and esteem to participate in learning and in the community, learning about contemporary economic, civic and social issues and exploring new purpose and goals in life.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="background-color: white; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1cm;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="background-color: white; font-size: medium; margin-left: 1cm;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The conference will feature two keynote speakers: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1cm;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1cm;"><b><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Dr Uta Papen (Lancaster University)<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="font-size: medium; margin-left: 1cm;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">“More than skills– was it just a dream?

In recent decades, government policies in many countries in the Anglosphere have narrowed the focus of adult literacy and numeracy programs to employability skills training, and a competency-based training (CBT) model with tightly defined outcomes within accredited training. This reduces both the scope of programs and teachers’ and students’ agency to tailor the programs according to the students’ needs, interests and aspirations. From research and our experiences, we know that many adults want more than ‘basic skills’ when they attend adult literacy and numeracy classes. Often their needs and goals include reducing a sense of social alienation, building self-confidence and esteem to participate in learning and in the community, learning about contemporary economic, civic and social issues and exploring new purpose and goals in life.</span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="background-color: white; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">This conference is a forum for exploring spaces and approaches to expand the scope of literacy and numeracy programs to enable students to gain personally meaningful educational outcomes through program participation.

While recognising curriculum and assessment pressures that all teachers face, as adult educators we also have an obligation to create spaces to teach our learners the knowledge and skills they need to exercise their citizenship responsibility to be engaged in this important issue.</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 46.4pt; text-indent: 0cm;"><span face=""Avenir Light", sans-serif" style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;"><b>Date:</b> Thursday</span><span face=""Avenir Light", sans-serif" style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span face=""Avenir Light", sans-serif" style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span face=""Avenir Light", sans-serif" style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;">27 April 2023</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 46.4pt; text-indent: 0cm;"><b style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Video</b><span face=""Avenir Light", sans-serif" style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;">: </span><a href="https://youtu.be/5EREdr-yDWE" style="color: purple; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Noto, sans-serif;">https://youtu.be/5EREdr-yDWE</span></a></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 46.4pt; text-indent: 0cm;"><b style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Cost</b><span face=""Avenir Light", sans-serif" style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;">: NSWALNC 2023 Members Free; Non-Members $20.00</span></p><p style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin-left: 46.4pt; text-indent: 0cm;"><br /></p>Renata Atkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14156353839995160839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945984515295611.post-47840697492759087682022-09-21T14:55:00.003+10:002022-09-21T14:55:32.219+10:00Artifactual Literacies Project 5.30 Thursday 13 October 2022<p> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -18pt;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span face=""Futura Medium", sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-size: 12pt; text-indent: -18pt;">Implement an artifactual literacies project in your class</span></p><span style="color: #0b5394;"><style class="WebKit-mso-list-quirks-style">

In many education sectors, remote delivery using digital technologies was adopted as a solution during periods of lockdown, with varying degrees of success. However, this was not a viable option for many classes with disadvantaged learners. <br /><br />What the experience of the pandemic has highlighted for us is both the fragility of the connections we develop with learners, particularly those with limited economic and technology resources, and the significance to these learners of our efforts to improvise ways of staying connected with them. <br /><br />This conference takes up the theme of connecting with learners and their community, celebrating this as a key principle in the work we do. The conference will provide an opportunity to hear from researchers on studies they have undertaken that are related to this theme, and we invite you to share your initiatives, strategies and reflections on this theme with all of us.</span></p><h3><center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">Keynote Speakers</span></center></h3><p></p><center><strong><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">Alisa Belzer</span></strong></center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;"><br /><strong><center>Levon Blue</center></strong></span><center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">"Disrupting the alibi: Towards a post-colonial financial literacy ideal"</span></center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;"><br /><strong><center>Marta Civil</center></strong></span><center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">"Parents as adult learners of mathematics:<br />The centrality of building relationships and community"</span></center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;"><br /><strong><center>Sally Thompson</center></strong></span><center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">"The Literacy Village"</span></center><h3><center><a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.trybooking.com/BUBIN&source=gmail&ust=1636599973060000&usg=AFQjCNFl81n4eMKFNIFlhVaKz73lixoZ2w" href="https://www.trybooking.com/BUBIN" style="padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">REGISTRATION</span></a></center></h3><p></p><center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">NSWALNC 2021 Members $40 (2 days) $30 (1 day) </span></center><p></p><p></p><center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">Non Members $60 (2 days) $40 (1 day)</span></center><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;"><br /></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">Conference Website:<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.nswalnc.org.au/conference21.htm&source=gmail&ust=1636599973060000&usg=AFQjCNFJo-msDv1Hvpk0TIUvFv-SbgrNbg" href="http://www.nswalnc.org.au/conference21.htm" target="_blank"> http://www.nswalnc.org.au/<wbr></wbr>conference21.htm</a><br /></span></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34);"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;">Registration:<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid%3D809393%26&source=gmail&ust=1636599973060000&usg=AFQjCNEp3hsuLn5wdsfG0Bp1znJE4wkePg" href="https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing?eid=809393&" target="_blank"> https://www.<wbr></wbr>trybooking.com/events/landing?<wbr></wbr>eid=809393&</a></span></div>Renata Atkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14156353839995160839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945984515295611.post-8275133158829759082021-08-06T18:49:00.000+10:002021-08-06T18:49:12.391+10:00NSWALNC Workshop – Teaching online job-seeking skills – 5.30 Thursday 9 September via Zoom<p style="margin-left: 21.15pt; margin-right: 0cm;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-size: 11pt;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet;">This workshop will discuss a video created by Denise de Pauw, a doctoral student at the University of Lancaster, on her research on the online job-seeking experience of a migrant job-seeker.

In many education sectors, remote delivery using digital technologies was adopted as a solution during periods of lockdown with varying degrees of success, however, this was not a viable option for many classes with learners in our field. What the experience of the pandemic has highlighted for us is both the fragility of the connections we develop with learners, particularly those with limited economic and technology resources, and the significance to these learners of the efforts we do make in creatively improvising ways to stay connected with them. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="m2041458728623065533msolistparagraph" style="font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-left: 1cm; margin-top: 6pt;"><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">This conference takes up the theme of connecting with learners and their community to celebrate and reaffirm the centrality of our connections with learners and their community as key principle in the work we do. The conference will provide an opportunity to hear from researchers on studies they have undertaken that are related to this theme, and invite you to share your initiatives, strategies and reflections on this theme with all of us.<o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="color: #365f91; font-family: "Avenir Light", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Watch this space for updates on keynote speakers, registrations and more</span>Renata Atkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14156353839995160839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945984515295611.post-54794252965952987292021-02-23T13:38:00.003+11:002021-05-26T19:29:57.043+10:00Pam Osmond Book Launch by Mary Hamilton 6 pm 25 March 2021<p><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: trebuchet;"><span>Pamela Osmond's book <i>Developing Social Equity in Australian <a>Adult</a></i></span><i><span> Education: Lessons from the Past</span></i><span>, based on her research on the history of Adult Basic Education in NSW will be published by Routledge on 8 March.

Jill explored lessons learned from her work with Sydney City Council garbage collectors and a “train the trainer” program with public libraries. She asked us to consider the current understanding of the broader LLND world and to think about whose interests the push for digital literacy serves. <a href="http://DigitalLiteracyJILLFINCH.pdf" target="_blank">Jill's Presentation PDF</a></span></span>Renata Atkinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14156353839995160839noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967945984515295611.post-49990182927488900652020-10-01T16:36:00.001+10:002020-10-01T16:36:48.802+10:00NSWALNC Reading Group - Digital Literacy: what, where and in whose interest?

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Numeracy practices are always dependent on the social context in which they emerge. These contexts, however, are unstable because of a range of technological and socio-political changes. How does this instability affect people’s agency in the world? After reviewing key approaches to numeracy practices research, we distil key findings from recent numeracy studies. We introduce the concept of the numerate environment to examine the context in which opportunities, supports and demands present themselves for people’s numeracy development, explaining how cultural-historical activity theory can be used to analyse the effects of changes in numerate environments. We consider examples of social trends likely to effect such changes and conclude with implications of shifts in people’s numerate environment for future educational provision, policy and research.</span></span></div>
