Literacy Legacy : Training for Instructors

The adult literacy sector has been developed over the years through the work of many dedicated, long-term literacy workers who have gained a wealth of knowledge. The field experienced a notable increase in staff turnover during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Many experienced instructors accelerated their retirement plans. As these specialists retire, their knowledge and experience are at risk of being lost, pointing to the need for responsive training for new practitioners. Together, we’re excited to bring you MTML’s series of podcasts, where experienced practitioners share practical advice, and effective strategies, to inspire and guide those who are just starting out in the world of literacy. Join us as we honour the legacy of those who have dedicated their lives to literacy. Tune in and learn from the best!” Welcome to The Literacy Legacy Project.

    Nervous System and Learning

    Today we are diving into a fascinating topic that impacts all of us, especially those involved in education, and that is the nervous system. Many of us have heard of "fight or flight," but there's so much more to understand about how our nervous systems react to the world around us and how those reactions influence learning. Jenny will be talking about the nervous system and how it responds to fear and how that understanding can change our approach to instruction and learning. We will also be understanding how the nervous system can help create a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

    Difference in Approach: Indigenous Perspective

    In today’s episode, we're exploring the distinction between Indigenous adult literacy programs and general adult literacy programs. While both aim to enhance literacy skills, the approaches, philosophies, and the cultures they draw upon can be strikingly different. Indigenous adult literacy programs not only focus on reading and writing but also weave in traditional knowledge, language preservation, and a deep connection to cultural heritage. Meanwhile, more mainstream adult literacy programs are often shaped by Western educational models, which may not always resonate with or serve Indigenous learners in the same way.
