December, 2004
Workplace Education is the theme of the new Focus on Basics. The editor, Barbara Garner, wanted to call you attention to two articles of state interest. See her note below. You might want to pass the URL on to those in your state interested in helping incumbent workers keep their jobs through workplace education. This issue includes some of our most experienced workplace education colleagues sharing their expertise. Here is Barbara’s note: “The new “Focus on Basics” (http://www.gse.harvard.edu/%7Encsall/fob_track2.html) has a couple of articles that are particularly pertinent to state directors and state staff. One reviews the role states play in supporting workplace education. The url is http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu/fob/2004/foucar-szocki.html The other is the cover story, which looks at whether the programs funded with government workplace funds in MA continued after the grants ended, and why. That’s at http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu/fob/2004/nelson.html Thanks! Barbara Garner The work place continues to change. Technology is replacing “lift and put” jobs. Employers want to retain loyal employees. Workplace education programs at the work site, many paid for by the industry, provide loyal workers with reading, math, and other skills needed to compete for the more technologically sophisticated jobs and retain employment. Keep up the good work. Let me know when we can help.
John Comings--NCSALL at Harvard--is working on an exciting evidence-based resource that also will help you with program design, state planning, and program improvement activities. The resource should be available for you next summer. However, there are four areas that lack research and clear consensus about effective best practices. Can you help fill the gaps in knowledge? Here is the URL to the 15 minute electronic survey: http://naepdc.org/Forms/NSCALL.html Please submit by December 23rd. Thank you for your help. Keep up the good work. Let me know when we can help.
