SUMMARY:National Webinar Series | Creating Access to Adult Education with Family Literacy
DESCRIPTION:For millions of adults\, barriers to education persist\, from scheduling conflicts to the stigma of returning to the classroom alone. This presentation will explore how a family literacy model offers a powerful solution to support recruitment and retention of adult learners who are also parents. By engaging parents and their children simultaneously\, this approach not only improves adult literacy skills but also fosters a culture of learning within the home. We’ll delve into the foundational principles of family literacy\, highlighting how it provides a safe\, supportive\, and highly relevant learning environment. Attendees will learn how this model builds stronger families\, enhances community engagement\, and creates a more accessible pathway for adults to achieve their educational goals. Join me as we explore how investing in the entire family can be the key to unlocking a more literate future. \nRegister Now\n  \nSpeaker: \n \nMarcus Haile\, President & CEO\, Literacy Alliance of Northeast Florida. \nMarcus is a nonprofit veteran professional of almost 30 years with roles ranging from program management\, to fundraising\, and now executive leadership as the CEO of the Literacy Alliance since 2019.
