Basic Skills for Development
Adult educators and health partners have developed strategies to help adults with limited basic skills. Having assistance with oral and written English, numeracy, and other communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills can help strengthen their health, as well as that of their families and communities. After an overview of why and how adult education programs and health partners might collaborate, we'll describe various types of partnerships. We'll respond to participant questions and comments, and suggest follow-up actions participants might take on these interwoven issues of health, education, and social justice.
Objectives:
-Better understand how public health, adult basic skills, social justice, and poverty interrelate.
-Better understand why and how adult educators and public health supporters can collaborate.
-Know how to access resource persons and further information on this topic.
