Adult ESL education has evolved over the past 50 years through various acts and amendments that have expanded funding and program types. While demand is high, resources remain limited, with long waiting lists and insufficient funding, materials, and qualified teachers. The needs of adult learners are diverse but often include goals related to employment, communication skills, and family responsibilities. Moving forward, the document calls for improving program delivery, increasing collaboration, responsive policies, adequate resources, and additional research to develop high-quality programs that meet the needs of English language learners.

Exploring Language and Literacy Development in Early Childhood Education
The advocacy program entails putting forward early literacy development in children as a critical area for advancing education. It is essential that children acquire language skills right from the young age so as to prepare them for lifelong learning and achievements. The advocacy requires participation of stakeholders of early literacy development that include families, parents, caregivers, educators, and policy makers in the area of early childhood education. Organization such as NAEYC ensure that teachers are properly trained to spearhead the acquisition of literacy and language skills in children. Center for Early Literacy Learning recommends that teachers and educators should use evidence-based practices to promote literacy skills in young learners.

Regulations and Policies associated with the topic
The common core state standards ensure uniformity in learning expectations in all the states in the United States of America. Common core standards for English and literacy the standards and expectations that language learners are expected to achieve. This standard apply to the advocacy issue because language learning starts at an early age. The third-grade reading law is a regulation that was adopted by many states across the country to ensure that young learners are able to read before they can be promoted to fourth grade. The third-grade reading law apply to the advocacy topic since reading is one of the essentials elements necessary for literacy development. No Child Left Behind of 2002 is a law that seeks to promote literacy by providing guidelines for administering literacy tests. Race to the Top is one of the laws that provided the groundwork for the establishment of common core standards. Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 is a law that guided the adoption of Common Core Standards as a policy area in literacy and learning development. The law led to the adoption of the policy called Literacy Education for All, Results for the Nation (LEARN) which promotes literacy education in the country (Castillo, 2020).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
