| Three levels of Inclusive Learning Enviroments | (1) reflect the diversity of those present in the learning activity itself in the curriculum and pedagogical/andragogical style; (2) attend to the wider and immediate institutional contexts in which the participants work and live; (3) in some way reflect the changing needs of an increasingly diverse society" |
| Addressing Diversity of Learners | Selecting appropriate curriculum and course content is a critical aspect of inclusiveness. |
| Emerging of Pedagogy (Inclusive learning Environment) | (1) the validity of the student's experiences as well as support for the emerging self as a focus of education; (2) the contextual nature of knowledge, including the relationship between the learner and his or her knowledge base (3) the notion that learning can be a transformative process. |

| How to create inclusive learning enviroments | Acknowledge that all individuals bring multiple perspectives to any learning situation as a result of their gender, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, and/or physical abilities Recognize that since identification with social groups is multiple and complex, [a learner's] claimed identity will be in response to many contextual factors that position the individual politically Reflect the experiences of learners, both as individuals and as members of particular social groups, and value these experiences through their use as the basis of learning and assessment (Shore et al. 1993, p. 3) Pay attention to the power relations inherent in knowledge production Be aware that participants are positioned differently in relationship to each other and to the knowledge being acquired Acknowledge the power disparity between the teacher/facilitator and the students (Tisdell 1995, p. 90) |

| History of Adult Ed State Level | State histories give evidence of organized adult education in the 18th century. Evening schools for adults, part-time education, citizenship/Americanization classes for the foreign-born, and the Chautauqua experience of 1874 (Weischadle, D. E., 1968) were forerunners of the state/federal adult education movement. In a Council of Chief State School Officers publication in 1969, traces of the development of adult education since 1920 are recorded for many states (Pearson, J. B., & Fuller, E., 1969). California’s history project (1995 and 2005) indicates that adult education classes were held in San Francisco in 1856 through the use of state public funds, and Massachusetts had continuing education and evening schools as early as 1842 (Pearson, J. B., & Fuller, E., 1969). |
| National efforts | National Efforts in Adult Education The National Education Association (NEA) had direct involvement in adult education through its Department of Adult Education from 1924 to 1951. The National Association for Public School Adult Education (NAPSAE) was an NEA Department from 1952 to 1972 (Luke, R. A., 1992). The public school association merged with the Adult Education Association (AEA/USA) in 1981; this merger established the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education (AAACE; Seamon, D., 1992). However, significant national efforts by the Federal Government through adult education legislation were being implemented during this period as well |
| Federal Legislation | With passage of the Economic Opportunity Act in 1964, adult basic education (ABE) legislation set the stage for the Federal Government’s initiative in addressing adult illiteracy in the United States. In 1966, Congress passed legislation removing adult education from the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) and vested authority for the program in the U.S. Office of Education (OE). Today, the adult education program is within the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Vocational and Adult Education (ED OVAE) and Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL). The upcoming 50th anniversary of the passage of this Act will provide an opportunity to discuss what adult education has accomplished and what remains to be done. The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has been operational since its passage in 1998. Its purpose is to consolidate, coordinate, and improve employment, training, literacy, and vocational programs. Title II of the Act is cited as the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA) |
| Beginning of Change | The Workforce Investment Act (WIA) has been operational since its passage in 1998. Its purpose is to consolidate, coordinate, and improve employment, training, literacy, and vocational programs. Title II of the Act is cited as the Adult Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA). Presently, the Administration, Congress, and officials at the White House are addressing WIA and actions for investment in adult education, the workplace, and the workforce. For example, 1 the Helping Individuals Return to Employment Act (HR 3471) and the Workforce Investments through Local Libraries Act (WILL Act) were introduced in the House of Representatives in May 2013. |
