New President Reflects on PAACE Conference
by Linda Herr, Lycoming County Literacy Project, PAACE President
Greetings to all PAACERs!! I trust you're all back and recovered from the conference, doing what you do best--working with adult learners in whatever capacity you do. I am proud to be counted among you.
It appears that one of the first duties of the PAACE president is to re-cap conference highlights. I hope you have your high points from the conference; I know that I do. There is such an impressive array of talent and gifted practitioners, volunteers, learners, and administrators that make up this organization. It is difficult to look at all the presenters and presentations and not come away with that conclusion.

Another highlight for me was the opportunity to talk to, e-mail and, in some cases, meet new colleagues. That was an exceptional benefit that I particularly treasure. I enjoyed seeing Barbara Van Horn, a colleague noted for her work in the field, be recognized as the Outstanding Adult Educator as so many others have been deservedly recognized in the past. It was especially gratifying to honor Cheryl Keenan, ABLE Bureau Director, for her contributions to adult education with the State Leadership Award. Since her relatively brief tenure as Bureau Director, she has brought adult education in Pennsylvania to a new level of expectation and quality performance with initiatives and tools to fully integrate into the changing climate of the field. Congratulations, too, to Sandy Leopold, husband of PAACE executive director Joan Leopold, who was presented with the PAACE Service Award in thanks for all the work he does on our database.
As members of PAACE, there is always a place for you and a need to be met. Thanks to those who stepped forward and to those who will do so in the future. I look forward to meeting more of you during my year as president.Editor's note: The president of PAACE advances from second vice-president to first vice-president to president. The primary duty of the first vice-president is conference program chair. Thus, Linda speaks as the person who has just completed that mammoth task.

2003 Planning Is Off and Running
 |
| Deb Burrows |
We're going to try to get an early start on the 2003 Midwinter Conference program planning activities and would like to extend an invitation to PAACE members. If you would like to volunteer to assist with next year's conference, would you please respond by sending a message to me at dburrows@lhup.edu? As always, we can use all the help we can get. We'd also appreciate your suggestions, even if you are unable to volunteer.
As a means of increasing communication and keeping all of us in the loop, we'll be setting up a Midwinter Conference Committee listserv for those who have volunteered. We'll use this much like we've used PAACE listservs to keep people informed and to serve as a platform for discussion in between meetings.
Our first on-site meeting has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 9, 2002 at the CIU West Branch Technology Center in Lock Haven, following the PAACE board meeting.
Gubernatorial Candidates Respond to PAACE 'Right to Learn' Platform
 |
| JoAnn Weinberger |
I am happy to report that PAACE has received a response from all three gubernatorial candidates to our platform. If you have an opportunity to attend a public forum with one or more of the candidates, please let them know that PAACE's "Right to Learn" platform emphasizing lifelong learning is important to you. The responses from the candidates are as follows, in alphabetical order by party:
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE RESPONSES
Statement of Robert P. Casey, Jr.
I am pleased to endorse the Pennsylvania Association for Adult Continuing Education's Adult Education Platform. Thank you for the opportunity to express my agreement that all Pennsylvanians have a right to learn and therefore a right to participate and opportunity to succeed in the global economy.
I firmly believe that the education of our people is one of the most important functions of state government – and that now, more than ever before, education is the key to our future. In the new economy of the 21st century, our education system will serve as the foundation for our prosperity as individuals, families, and as a Commonwealth. Therefore, as Governor, I will invest in the most significant tool in our economic development arsenal -- our people.
To that end, my administration will look at education in a new and different way, recognizing that education does not just start in kindergarten and end in high school or even college. My administration will create an innovative and effective continuum of lifetime learning that will provide educational opportunities to Pennsylvanians from birth through post-secondary education. To give our children the healthy start that they need to be successful, we will invest in quality child care and nutrition programs and the very best initiatives for early learning and school readiness. We will carry this commitment through the years and help more students earn post-secondary degrees, expand vocational and technical training through our community colleges, and streamline the state's massive jumble of job training programs. This education plan will ensure that our children start smarter and our older workers never fall behind.
During this campaign, I have already released detailed plans that will further our shared goals, including transforming Pennsylvania's workforce development system and strengthening its community colleges. I have also discussed other ways to help low-income families attain and maintain self-sufficiency, such as increasing the state's minimum wage and providing health insurance to unemployed workers and their families. These plans are available through my campaign website at www.caseyforgovernor.com.
As Auditor General, I repeatedly urged the Ridge/Schweiker administration to use its discretion under the federal welfare reform law to expand the state's definition of "work" to include adult education and job training for a limited period of time, because I believe that they are better investments in a family's future than immediate forced entry into low-wage, dead-end jobs. This issue is even more important now than when I first raised it, as Pennsylvania families will start hitting their five-year limits for the receipt of public assistance this March.
More recently, I criticized Governor Schweiker's proposed 40% cut to the Read-to-Succeed program, which was created to help ensure that our children can read at a third grade level by the end of third grade. A key component of my education plan is an increased focus on research-tested reading programs in the early grades. Children who cannot read become adults who cannot read – and we need to reduce the rate of adult illiteracy in Pennsylvania. That is why I want to increase our investments in adult and family literacy programs, so that we help the 4 million Pennsylvania adults in need of literacy services and, in the process, break the cycle of intergenerational illiteracy.
Again, thank you for the opportunity to address these important issues. I commend PAACE's nearly 25 years of advocacy for adult and continuing education. I look forward to working with you in developing and implementing these policies, as well as in selecting my appointments to the Interagency Coordinating Council for Adult Basic and Literacy Education. Together, we will "bridge the gap" and help all Pennsylvania adults achieve their lifelong educational goals.
Statement of Ed Rendell
I heartily support the adult education platform of PAACE.
Despite the myriad of programs the Commonwealth offers to combat illiteracy, we still have much more to do. To serve our citizens in need, we must augment and improve current programs and look to research that can tell us "what works" and replicate successful programs.
Most policy makers do not recognize the dire situation those with low literacy skills face. Not only do these individuals lack the skills needed to participate in today's workforce, they do not have the skills they will need in tomorrow's. In addition, research shows that when parents have greater skills, their children's performance is better.
I believe in and as Governor will work to implement programs to help improve the skills of all adults and provide specific assistance to those for who English is not their first language. As Philadelphia's Mayor, I worked with the Mayors' Commission on Literacy and Philadelphia Reads to improve literacy in the city and I assure the members of PAACE that my commitment as Governor will continue.
REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE RESPONSE
Response from Mike Fisher's Office
I am writing in response to your recent letter seeking Mike Fisher's position on PAACE's "Adult Education Platform for Pennsylvania." As a former prosecutor, legislator and in his current capacity as Attorney General, Mike Fisher has dedicated over 30 years of his life to public service in Pennsylvania and is committed to making Pennsylvania a better place to live, work, raise a family and do business. Like you, we recognize the importance that education and proper training play in allowing Pennsylvanians to secure - and enjoy - quality jobs in our state.
We appreciate your soliciting our position on the issues outlined in your platform and look forward to working with you and sharing our policies and vision for Pennsylvania with you in the months ahead, if I can be of any assistance in the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact me.

English as a Second Language (ESL)
Conference Gave ESL a Shot in the Arm |
| Michael Westover |
Thanks to everyone who attended the ESL Luncheon at Midwinter. It was nice to see so many willing to participate more this year. I understand that a few of you have already contacted JoAnn Weinberger about legislative issues. Thank you.
I will be contacting you in May to begin setting up networks for idea sharing. E-mail me with topics you would like to discuss. Some issues might be EFF, EQUAL, Program Performance Standards, Teacher Competencies, what works in the classroom, what are good published materials, what are some good instructor developed materials … you get the idea. Also, we are working on getting ESL lesson plans on the ABLE site. I will let you know how to access and submit when everything is worked out.
Are there folks out there who would like to act as regional reps for ESL? We have some willing bodies in Lancaster and Harrisburg. How about Erie, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, the Northeast, Southwest, the vast Central Hinterlands? These gifted and dynamic leaders in ESL will host idea sharing and discussion groups in his/her area of the Commonwealth and report back to me what happened. Not too terrible of a burden.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Flood my inbox with enthusiastic and exhilarating ideas to carry us through to next Midwinter. Contact me at mwestover@hbgdiocese.org.

CEA/PA Scholarships and Outstanding Adult Student Awards Presented
 |
| Mary Anne Varacalli |
At the Midwinter Conference Banquet on February 14, 2002, CEA/PA awarded two $500 scholarships to two adult students.
Applicants must be currently enrolled, non-traditional undergraduate students at a member CEA/PA college or university. They must have completed 24 semester hours with a 3.5 grade point average. Financial need is used as a criterion, with students having filed a FAFSA application. A 500-1000 word essay, letter of reference and the CEA/PA Scholarship Application complete the process.
The winners chosen by the CEA/PA Scholarship Selection Committee were:
- Cynthia Welsh from Arcadia University
- David Toothman from Pittsburgh Technical Institute
Two awards were also presented to two non-traditional outstanding adult students from CEA/PA member institutions. Present with their families and receiving their awards at the banquet were:
- Mary Lou Berk from Delaware Valley College

Adult Basic and Secondary Education (AB/SE)
Another Midwinter Conference Come and Gone!
 |
| Mary Kay Peterson |
Hard to believe that the 2002 Midwinter Conference is long over! It seems like just last week that we were all together in Hershey. I'd like to thank everyone who attended the AB/SE lunch on that Friday. It was a record-setting attendance (at least in my records) with 45 of you squeezing together to share lunch and ideas.
Some of those ideas included opening the Administrators Pre-Conference "Alike Agencies" session to everyone and holding it early in the conference so practitioners working in similar settings can identify each other and be able to spend time networking and sharing. Other ideas had to do with the GED 2002. Sarah Jones of the Pottstown YWCA was noted for having invited both tutors and students to a GED 2002 overview session. The students deserve to know about the new test and to hear the same message that practitioners hear. And I promise that's the last time I'll note that, too, Sarah. (But it is a really great idea!)
PAACE's new Public Relations chair, Carole Sawchuck, made the request for both regional help and news from the programs. Carole's role is to put your program in the spotlight but she can't if she doesn't know about what you are doing! Every program is doing something wonderful and we shouldn't keep that to ourselves. Thanks to Robin and Kevin for volunteering to help Carole.
 |
| GED 2002 Coffees: All that's missing is you. |
Please keep in mind that the GED 2002 coffees are still available for you to get together and share lessons, strategies and tips. If you'd like to have one in your area, please let me know. I can either host one or help you to set one up. Just ask! You may reach me at (610) 857-9157 or at mkpeterson@chesco.com.
Thanks again for the energizing end of a great conference!
*Editor's note: And Mary Kay should know. As Conference Exhibits Chair, she is the person who solicits the vendors and works with them every step of the way, including throughout the entire conference--a very big job that is critical to the conference. Thanks, Mary Kay.
Workforce Development
ESL in the Workplace Dominates Luncheon Discussion
 |
| KayLynn Hamilton |
In line with the conference theme "Bridging the Gap," a major topic at the PAACE Midwinter Conference Workforce Development Division luncheon was English as a Second Language instruction in the workplace.
With Laura Beach of the Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Network (PA WIN) facilitating, participants discussed ESL issues in the workplace:
Can—or should—an employer specify that training be available for a specific ethnic group? Attendees mentioned that the first question should be whether the employer is limiting the training based on findings of an organizational needs analysis. Others said that this practice may be discriminatory. Some felt this may be a company's way of prioritizing its training needs.
Can short-term ESL programs in the workplace have any real impact? Yes, said participants, if instruction is focused and defined.
What about digital translators? Cheryl Hiester of Lancaster-Lebanon IU 13 mentioned that this technology may not be useful yet because its translations are unreliable.
Where are ESL population pockets in Pennsylvania and what motivates immigrants to move to these areas? Just about everywhere these days. Major motivation: employment.
Does having a bilingual trainer in a workplace program help ESL learners achieve their goals more quickly? Experience says it does.
PA WIN Core Team member Linda Grosse presented an overview of Chester County's ESL project with a landscaping firm. The project focused on common phrases and directives used in the workplace. She noted that the foundation skills rubric was an effective tool for illustrating skill achievement.
Cheryl Hiester, also a Core Team member, recounted IU 13's history of providing workplace ESL programs. As she illustrated, with ensuing discussion, it is often difficult to determine ESL learners' skills needs at the beginning of a project, especially when these needs were communicated by the employers, not workers.
Family Literacy
What a conference for Family Literacy!
 |
| Ruth Love-Schooley |
Wow! What a conference that was! There was a record number of Family Literacy workshops and a record number of Family Literacy practitioners in attendance. Division co-chair Blanche Lozar and I would like to take a moment and thank all presenters. Thank you for stepping up to the plate and for sharing your expertise with others. We also wanted to thank everyone who participated in the making and the presentation of the beautiful Family Literacy Quilt. Remember there are still quilt t-shirts available. If you have not purchased yours, you will want to do that soon. In fact, they make great incentive prizes for families in your program. To order, please contact Mike Sobkowski at 717-787-6344. Prices are $10 for adult sizes and $8 for children’s sizes.
In light of recent funding proposals at the state and federal levels, the PAACE Family Literacy Division is looking for members who are interested in advocacy. JoAnn Weinberger, Legislative Representative, has offered to help us unite and let our voices be heard. If you are interested in representing PAACE in this fashion, please e-mail me at rlove@jvbrown.edu or Blanche at lzarbell@netscape.net.
A Book Review
by Charlene H. Harrison, D.Ed., Director of the Center for Adult Learner Services at Penn State University in State College, CEA/PA 2nd Vice President
Aslanian, C. B. (2001). Adult Students Today. New York: The College Board
Many of us have turned to the Aslanian and Brickell book Americans in Transition: Life Changes as Reasons for Adult Learning (1980) to learn what triggers adult learning and when does it occur. Their 1988 book How Americans in Transition Study for College Credit told us how adults study. Aslanian's new book, Adult Students Today, updates the previous work and extends it by reporting on both credit and noncredit learning.
Aslanian shows that the continued growth of American higher education enrollments can be attributed largely to the enrollment of adult learners. Combining the picture for undergraduate and graduate credit students, the typical adult learner is female, white, married, about age 40, employed full time, and attending college part time. Her study continues to be triggered overwhelmingly by career-related events with family-related triggers taking a distant second place. Once again it has been shown that while high quality faculty and programs attract adults, colleges must offer courses at times and locations that meet adults' needs.
This book is a must read because it tells you how undergraduate and graduate adult learners study; the fields in which they enroll; the schedules they prefer; whether they are doing accelerated, weekend, or distance learning; the support services they seek; and more. It was noteworthy that 45% of undergraduate adults enroll as transfer students and that more than half of all graduate adults are over the age of 30.
For purposes of this study, the noncredit adult was a voluntary learner who paid for or received third-party support for their courses. Again, this learner is typically female, married, employed full time in a professional position, and in her mid- to late-40s. These learners also are motivated by career-related reasons to study, are likely to select a non-collegiate provider, and want quality programs taught by strong faculty at times and locations convenient to them.
Aslanian concludes by identifying some adult learning trends. She suggests that the popularity of certificate programs will increase, that distance education will grow, and that new providers, particularly those in the private sector, will challenge traditional higher education. Lastly, she reminds us that our future learners will be those who enrolled previously.
