Arch Nelson Address
<\/b>What do these three topics have in common?
The need to contextualise LND education based on the study or work our learner cohorts are in and where they want to go. Adult education is like following a recipe: what are we making, ingredients, process \u2013 following step by step, outcomes, troubleshooting when things go wrong.
I will give several snapshots from my 29 years as an adult educator in literacy, numeracy and digital skills.
Indeed, Arch Nelson set the path early on and I feel privileged to have found my way to that path when I wanted to return to work.<\/p>\n
