The Turtle's Shell: Protecting the Life Underneath
Garvey, John; Gordon, John; Kleinbard, Peter; Wasserman, Paul
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n139 p45-55 Aut 2013
In this chapter, four longtime adult literacy practitioners recount their pathways into the field in the late 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s. Their stories highlight the creativity and openness that characterized literacy work in those years and point to what has been lost as the field has become dominated by the Workforce Investment Act and the National Reporting System.
