- When: Wednesday 19 February 2025 @ 1:00pm AEST
- Duration: 1 hr
- Cost: FREE for ALA members | $65 non-members
Long-time volunteer literacy tutor, Amanda Wilson, will present the findings of her Churchill Fellowship research into how tutors can reduce psychological barriers to adult learning.
Amanda visited five countries, 25 literacy service providers, and interviewed 90 passionate adult literacy professionals and has now developed a practical guide for adult literacy and numeracy service providers, tutors, industry bodies and education policy makers.
Amanda says that the findings show that when we tutor in a way that reduces educational fear, every adult literacy learner can benefit, from the most fearful to the most confident.
