OVERVIEW

The semiannual Harlem Adult Education Conference is designed to facilitate the community-based exchange of tools, strategies, and research among members of Harlem’s adult-education community in order to build stronger connections and expand learning opportunities. The theme of our Fall 2016 conference, “The Politics of Adult Education: Advocacy for Access,” highlights the current and potential role of inclusive, strategic, and sustained collaboration in securing supportive policies and sufficient funding to meet the needs of Harlem’s adult learners.


NOT YOUR ORDINARY CONFERENCE

Workshop facilitators are the very heart of the Harlem Adult Education Conference. However, instead of lecture-based sessions that revolve around a single person, HAEC workshop facilitators structure and guide peer-to-peer learning, ensuring all participants meaningful opportunities to both offer and acquire useful, solution-oriented information. In the spirit of collaboration, leadership development, and non-hierarchical learning, we encourage prospective facilitators to consider including one or more learners as co-facilitators.

WORKSHOP CATEGORIES
  • Adult Literacy/Adult Basic Education
  • Citizenship/Civic Preparation
  • College and Career Readiness
  • Digital Literacy
  • English for Speakers of Other Languages
  • Policy Development and Advocacy
  • Test Assessing Secondary Completion (TASC) and the Common Core
Workshop Criteria
