Adult Literacy (ADTED 457) is a three-credit undergraduate/graduate level Penn State course offered online through Penn State’s World Campus. It can be used as an elective for several Penn State graduate degree programs, as well as for undergraduate credit. The course examines recent research and issues, and bridges the gap between research and adult literacy practices. It explores best practices for developing instruction and teaching adult students, including contextualized instruction, scaffolding techniques to promote independent learning, and self-regulation strategies to support self-directed learning and for successful transition into postsecondary education and training. The course has been designed to provide practitioners with a professional development opportunity to focus on their own areas of interest within the field of adult basic and literacy education, including, but not limited to, family literacy, workplace literacy and workforce development, health literacy, financial literacy, and information literacy. There are no prerequisites, and a background in adult education is not necessary for successful completion of the course. The course curriculum allows students to participate at their own level of experience and need. The course begins September 3, 2008 and ends December 3, 2008.
