___________________________________________

The newest issue of "Focus on Basics" is now on the web. Go to 
http://ncsall.harvard.edu and click on the "Focus on Basics" box at the
bottom 
of the page to get there.

The topic? Workplace Education.

Find out whether workplace education programs continue after the initial 
government grant is over.
Read about ethnographic research in workplaces that documents that a
literacy 
activity cannot be disengaged from the broader work task, nor can it be 
considered independent from the written and unwritten rules of the culture
of 
a particular workplace. Then read about how programs put this insight into 
practice.
See what it takes to keep a workplace education partnership strong for more 
than 10 years.
Find out how a workplace education program can be a fabulous marketing tool.
Learn how approaches to workplace education content have evolved over time.
For innovation in math, go to Washington, DC, where the paycheck received by

participants in workplace education programs motivates them to learn about 
financial planning, investing, and home ownership.
For policy ideas, read about how states build identity, enhance expertise, 
provide financial support, increase accessibility, and promote
collaborations 
to strengthen workplace education as part of their overall adult education 
efforts. Then read about one experiment in making workplace education 
available to very small businesses.
Travel from Colorado to Connecticut and beyond...
