Editor's Notes
- #3 Today we’re going to discuss Five organizations which are dedicated to continued and lifelong learning. COLLO which is the Coalition of Lifelong Learning Organizations. American Association of Adult & Continuing Education National Institute of Adult Continuing Education UNESCO Institute for Lifelong Learning Council for Adult and Experiential Learning
- #6 Schmidt (2014) defines the philosophy of the American Association of Adult and Continuing Education, “provide leadership for the field of adult and continuing education by expanding opportunities for adult growth and development; unifying adult educators; fostering the development and dissemination of theory, research, information, and best practices; promoting identity and standards for the profession; and advocating relevant public policy and social change initiatives” (p. 55). As a not-for-profit, AAACE is a nonpartisan organization as described in Section 501(c)(3). Therefore, AAACE can solicit for federal, state, and local grants to fund its operation and development of adult and continuing education practices.
- #7 AAACE is an organization of diverse educators from various practices who believe it is possible to help adults acquire knowledge, skills, and values needed to lead productive and satisfying lives. For example, in the past the emphasis of education was directed toward young learners in a pedagogical setting while largely neglecting the contributions of adults through continuing education and life experiences. They approach lifelong with the belief that it contributes to human fulfillment and positive social change.
- #8 AAACE partners with several state organizations to hold pre- and co-conferences to discuss the development and benefits of adult education initiatives and their effects on strengthening leadership. AAACE offers two types of subgroups within its membership; commissions and special interest. Commissions have a formal structure and are formed by directors and special interest groups (SIGs) formed by any member provided there is a high enough level of interest. Commissions facilitate research, discussion, and implementation of policies on adult basic education and literacy; coordinates relationships with affiliated state and regional associations; promote productive social change; believe that minority and non-formal life-long learners contribute to professional development, human fulfillment, and social change; advocates public policy, relevant initiatives, and programs; and provides a forum to discuss international issues related to adult education in general (Schmidt, 2014, pp. 56-57). Special Interest Groups (SIGs) represent levels of involvement in adult education issues. SIGs include the following: Staff development Cooperative extensions Distance learning Graduate students Religious education Community colleges Vocational and Career education Labor/workforce education Sustainability and Environmental education Education related to service members, veterans, and military spouses (Schmidt, 2014, pp. 57).
- #9 AAACE is a result of a 1982 merger between two existing adult education associations: the National Association for Public and Continuing Adult Education (NAPCAE) and the Adult Education Association of the United States of America (AEA). The NAPCAE and AEA had similar initiatives in their histories, both 1945 and 1952, respectively. The adult and continuing education community provides leadership, policy, initiatives, development of educators, and collaboration on an international level. AAACE embraces the need to develop professional educational skills and positive social change.
- #10 Originally established in 1921 as the British Institute of Adult Education. Finally setting up as the National institute of Adult Continuing Education (NIACE). As the national voice for lifelong learning in England and Wales, NIACE campaigns for the personal, social and economic benefits from lifelong learning, and fights for all adults to have opportunities throughout their lives to participate in and benefit from learning. Our research shows significant inequalities in who takes part in learning, and our work seeks to tackle these inequalities and empower individuals from under-represented groups to take control of their lives and realise their potential. Our Development and Research underpins our policy work, helping us to evidence what we campaign for (NIACE, 2014).
- #11 The NIACE sets out to assist the fiscal revitalization of the United Kingdom by providing life long learning skills for the post-16 student (those earning an international baccalaureate diploma) and working adults. They also provide training for adults with families and those who are nearing their exit from prison.
- #12 NIACE offers a variety of programs that enrich many individuals. They include: Life Skills – deals with financial literacy and other important daily life moments not traditionally taught within the educational system. Families and Communities – focuses on providing access to educational opportunities to all adult learners, thus helping improve families and communities. Workplace – provides programs to assist the young adult in transitioning themselves to work.
- #13 Through programs with participating countries UNESCO promotes and monitors literacy and numerical learning programs that are presented in native languages and in an formal education setting for children and in an informal format for adults. By providing educational programs that promote better living conditions UNESCO can provide proven strategies that work for every culture based on need and cultural norms.
- #14 UNESCO offers a wide verity of literacy and numerology programs for adults in “Mother Language” tongues to provide access to educational material by every person worldwide for member countries. UNESCO also provides monitoring and evaluations of literacy advancement of the target groups while promoting the programs to the people through placing teachers in the area.
- #15 “Adult literacy is an inherent part of the right to education and an essential means of building people’s capabilities to cope with the evolving challenges and complexities of life, culture, economy and society” (UNESCO, 2013). UNESCO believes that by educating a populace the standard of living experienced by the people is directly impacted and raised through knowledge.
- #16 At the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL), everything we do supports one goal: Making it easier for people to get the education and training they need. We do this by finding practical ways to link people’s education to their jobs or future careers. We also support ways to link learning from their work and life experiences to their educational goals—so they earn their degrees and credentials faster.
- #17 Adult Students: Work with colleges and higher education systems to improve the adult student experience. Military & Veterans: Work with colleges on creating military-friendly policies and advising structures, awarding credit for learning from military experiences, and offering career paths into appropriate fields. Low-income & Unemployed: Help workforce organizations provide low-income workers with access to job training, education for high-growth industries, and college credit for their life and work experience. Older Workers: helps businesses, higher education, and the public workforce system identify and prepare older workers for new job opportunities that meet their needs and leverage the skills and experience they have gained from both their professional and personal lives. College credits by helping adults earn college credit for what they already know. Degree completion is not just an issue with those searching for jobs. It’s an issue with employers as well, since a majority of future jobs will require workers with college credentials. Prior learning assessment is the process of earning college credit for college-level learning acquired from other sources, such as work experience, professional training, military training, or open source learning from the web. Consulting to address specific challenges. In career paths workers need clearly defined career paths to be able to plan their education and their futures.
- #18 Similarities All organization possess an unwavering devotion to lifelong learning, education, and community involvement. Programs Offered: each program offers a variety of learning programs to assist their membership with personal and professional development. Differences Target Populations: Some programs such as NIACE are willing to work with older adolescents while other programs work exclusively with adults. Membership: some programs, such as COLLO, have membership bases that consist of organizations where as others consist of individuals.
