Summary:

"Featured in "The Bulletin Board", Fall 2002 Literacy Materials Bulletin, Literacy BC. This book is the result of a cost-shared project. It describes the experience of seven adult educators from Alberta as they participated in and reported on their research about participatory approaches in adult literacy programs. They were primarily interested in exploring what appears to be the inherent power dynamic between educators and students, and how that can be altered to truly include and empower the students they worked with. It definitely provides food for thought for all literacy practitioners who are willing to examine their current practice and consider new directions." – April 2008 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
