[ProfessionalDevelopment 2685] CNN video online -- Hero, Adult Education Supervisor featured on CNNJackie A. Taylor jackie at jataylor.netSat Dec 6 11:59:33 EST 2008
Hello Daphne, Thanks for bringing this up. I've been traveling all week so I apologize for the belated reply. I did watch it and thought it was a wonderful opportunity to bring adult literacy into the spotlight. For those who would like to view the CNN clip it is online at: http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/wayoflife/10/30/heroes.wilson.nelson/inde x.html I think we should be doing more to cultivate champions and to educate the general public about the critical need for adult literacy in our country. I realize it's not every day that we have the opportunity to work with celebrities; but there are many kinds of champions. I wonder what others here are doing to nurture adult literacy champions in their communities? Comments?
