Forming Adult Educators: The CCNY MA in Language and Literacy
Gleason, Barbara
Journal of Basic Writing, v37 n2 p57-91 2018
This essay provides a profile of an interdisciplinary master's program whose curriculum supports current and future adult educators seeking employment opportunities in higher education, adult literacy education, adult English language instruction, writing centers, and secondary education. A faculty administrator and five former graduate students collectively present an overview of the master's program while also providing experience-based narratives on program participation. Curricula for two graduate courses--a basic writing graduate course and a course focused on teaching adult writers--are profiled and then commented on by former students who reflect on the roles these courses played in their educational lives and professional futures. [This article was written with Anita Caref, James Dunn, Erick Martinez, Lynn Reid, and Maria Vint.]
