NCFL to present at Commission on Adult Basic Education (COABE)
We’re ready for a nice, long nap after Families Learning Summit’s jam-packed schedule of learning, eating, and networking… but when we wake, we’ll be putting the final touches on our Commission on Adult Basic Education (COABE) presentations.
If you’re joining the anticipated 1,500 adult educators in Denver this April 21-24, don’t miss these must-see sessions led by NCFL’s Director of Family Engagement Dr. Joshua Cramer and Director of Literacy and Family Learning Services Donna Elder:
