Summary:

This resource guide was prepared to "research, design and develop a package of text-free innovative teaching methods that can be used to explore equality issues in adult literacy education". It discusses the theory and rationale behind the approaches, as well as providing an explanation of the methods themselves. The guide includes suggestions for lesson plans and professional development resources. The CD contains a PDF of the resource guide as well as resources that can be used by tutors, including readings, images, tutor evaluations, stories and anecdotes. The CD and guide are designed to be used together.
"Good." – October 2010 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
"Good general overview of literacy and definitions. Equality issues are openly discussed with a view to addressing them through increased literacy and communication about socio/economic situations." – September 2009 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
"Recommended by Nora Randall and Suzanne Smythe in "A guide to learning disabilities resources for adult literacy educators: toward a 'whole life' approach," July 2007. This is a collection on non-text based tools and resources designed to help adult learners and educators explore issues of power and equality. The three strands of the project, literacy, equality and creativity, are woven together in a process that can be adapted to help people with learning disabiltities identify the sources and forms of discrimination they experience, and ways to respond to it. Integrating art, movement, music, theatre and storytelling into teaching and learning can itself promote equality by providing alternative to the text-based learning that many learners struggle with. This resource comes with a CD ROM with examples and background information on the model and strategies." – April 2009 Exemplary Literacy Materials Online Reviews.
