KQED Presentation May 2006: Putting it All Together
We all have different programs, families, facilities, staff, resources, challenges, etc. Here are some of the things we did to integrate HOL into our program. You are welcome to have and use any materials we have created - but the main reason we’re showing them to you is to get you thinking of how you can create similar, different, and even spiffier things that fit your program.
Some of what Project Read needs to factor in:
· Adult Literacy Program.
· Learner centered program - sets own literacy goals.
· Our primary family literacy focus is the caregiver.
· Limited number of families.
· Limited contact with children.
· One-to-one relationship with tutor is primary method to deliver services.
· A service of the SF Public Library.
· Monthly family workshops have wide range of ages – don’t always reach target group of under 5.
· Must accomplish FFL goals of CA State Library + report back to them ½ yearly.
· Need/desire to include different learning models and utilize multiple approaches and methods to deliver service.
· Family program impact, positive and negative, on adult program. To what degree does it distract from our core mission? Staff time, resources, storage, use of space? Does having the families in the office/lab discourage some adult learners from using the space?
· Address long and short term needs and objectives.
· Try to view things as work in progress – doesn’t have to be perfect, we can try things out and keep adjusting.
A few ways/systems we established to naturally weave HOL concepts into our program/culture.
· Integrated HOL methodology into our FFL handouts / activity sheets.
· Utilize the ideas in context. When comes up in one-to-one encounters, our workshops, professional meetings, etc.
· Included concepts in our summer book club.
· Established literature based, multi-media lending library.
· Give out free audio, video, and computer materials.
· Added concepts to tutor training. Revised recently to include information from Tracey and Sheila’s Oral Language workshop.
· Added some software that connects to literature and PBS (I Spy, Chato’s Kitchen, Why Mosquito’s Buzz, Clifford, Arthur, etc.).
· Added KQED Education link to web site.
