Drawing the line : Dealing with affective issues in literacy : Level 2

Horsman, Dr. Jenny. (Author). Saskatchewan Literacy Network (Author).

Summary: A package of learning materials and resources for adult literacy practitioners who work with women who have experienced violence. [From cover]: The challenge to support the successful learning of students who have experienced violence is an ongoing one for many literacy instructors and tutors. This package provides some background material to offer guidance in the challenging process of drawing the line between teaching and counselling in adult literacy programs. It is designed to be adaptable and can be used in its entirety as a six-hour training workshop, or sections of the kit can stand alone to help trainers focus on specific needs. Note that participants should be familiar with the concepts covered in the Level 1 Tutor Training Kit before expanding into Level 2 subjects.
