Literacy

> The Virginia Adult Education Health Literacy Toolkit[1] is a valuable
> resource designed to help adult education instructors and administrators
> better understand the problem of health literacy as it affects their
> learners. It supports creative approaches to helping learners increase
> health literacy as they engage in sound, productive adult basic literacy,
> GED preparation, and ESOL instruction. Information and resources are
> provided to educate the educator about health care in the United States
and
> cultural issues relating to health, and to simplify creation of health
> lessons and curricula for teachers and programs. The Toolkit includes
> extensive web and print resources, including links to health curricula
> created by and for adult literacy and ESOL programs, reproducible teaching
> materials, and information on accessing affordable health care in
Virginia.
>
> The Toolkit is available online at:

> FAIRFAX EL/CIVICS CURRICULUM
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------
--

>
> The Fairfax County EL/Civics Curriculum[2] is now available, with
complete
> high intermediate/ advanced curriculum, consisting of modules on
government/
> civic participation, health, and consumer awareness. The high
intermediate/
> advanced curriculum is designed for use in upper level ESOL classes and
> adult high school classes. Additionally, the Health Awareness modules from
> the Fairfax County EL/Civics ESOL Low Beginner, High Beginner, Low
> Intermediate, and Family Literacy curriculum levels are available within
the
> Virginia Adult Education Health Literacy Toolkit, Section D[3]. These
> learner-centered modules stress problem-solving and learner interaction
> around many life skills topics which are needed and requested by learners
> but not often found in textbooks, such as using credit, making long-term
> financial plans, accessing community services, making change happen in
one's
> community, finding affordable health care, and advocating for oneself
within
> the U.S. healthcare system. Units at all levels contain complete lesson
> plans, reproducible handouts, and optional computer-based activities.
