Adult Education Teachers: Designing Critical Literacy Practices

This book examines the literacy practices of exemplary adult education teachers working within critical literacy frameworks. It provides an in-depth, serious look at the complexity of adult literacy education through the lenses of these teachers. Understanding of this complexity helps teachers design literacy practices in classrooms on a daily basis. This is a timely book, for there is considerable pedagogical and political attention focused on adult literacy education at this time. As the field of adult education continues to grapple with issues of teacher professionalization/certification, it adds a much needed teacher perspective. Especially appropriate as a text for adult literacy education teacher training courses, the critical literacy pedagogy focus of this volume will also appeal to researchers, teacher educators, practitioners, and graduate students across the field of literacy education.
