Exploring Teaching Roles and Responsibilities in Adult Literacy Education: Do Teachers See Themselves as Transformative Educators?
Magro, Karen
Perspectives: The New York Journal of Adult Learning, v1 n1 p21-33 2002-2003

They were also aware of the need to balance teaching ideals with practicalities, barriers facing students, and negotiation between learner needs and institutional parameters was also apparent.
