Teaching Literacy tram a Feminist Perspective
CCLOW's new manual, Making Connections: Literacy and
ESL Materials Developed from a Feminist Perceptive, will be launched in
CCLOW networks across the country on International Literacy Day, September 8,
1996. A follow up project, currently awaiting funding confirmation, aims to
empower and support literacy practitioners to make the most effective use of
the manual.
A training workshop will be developed by a group of ten
workshop facilitators/literacy practitioners from across Canada. These
facilitators will then each deliver four pilot workshops in their regions,
after which the principles, framework and design of the workshop will be
revised and formally documented. This information will be made available to
literacy programs across the country and, together with the manual, will be an
effective resource to encourage and support more inclusive learning
environments in literacy programs.
Watch for publication information on Making
Connections this September, and for further information on the training
workshops in upcoming issues of Women's Education des femmes. |
