Mayday is the international distress call for help. A look back 55 years to 1968 reveals a Mayday call from the American Federation of Teachers for more funding for adult education: * ?FEDERAL ASSISTANCE FOR ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAMS* WHEREAS, the national figure on high school dropouts has reached alarming proportions; and WHEREAS, the nation looks to public education to break the patterns of racial intolerance, unemployment, poverty and crime which afflict hundreds of thousands of Americans; and WHEREAS, increasing maturity and the difficulties encountered in securing a good job without a high school diploma gives many "dropouts" a more positive attitude toward school, making them conscientious and apt students: *RESOLVED, that the American Federation of Teachers propose and support federal grants adequate to provide comprehensive adult education programs in all school districts but particularly in urban centers, where the problems resulting from ignorance and poor education are the most acute.?** https://www.aft.org/resolution/federal-assistance-adult-education-programs * See Sticht (2018) for more on how numerous organizations , including the American Federation of Teachers, the Secretary of Labor?s Commission on Necessary Skills, the Work in America Institute, Wider Opportunities for Women, and adult education in Canada, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and UNESCO, have called for and provided adult basic and workforce skills for workers of the United States and the world. Over the last half century since the Mayday call by the AFT in 1968 when times have been rough for America?s working people, as they are today, adult educators have developed methods for integrating basic skills and job skills education and training so that adults can move more rapidly into the world of work. They have demonstrated that it is no longer acceptable to cast-off people from the world of work and force them into the ranks of poverty-level jobs. Fortunately, the Adult Education and Literacy System (AELS) of the United States stands ready to serve the workers of the Nation whom we join with in solidarity and celebration on May Day.

Sunday May 14, 2023 is Mother?s Day in the United States.

Therefore, their language skills are superior.... Mother's education and child's early skills really help children in language and literacy learning. 2023 - Yu, S. (2023). The Influence of Mothers' Educational Level on Children's Comprehensive Quality. Journal of Education, Humanities and Social Sciences. Online at: https://drpress.org/ojs/index.php/EHSS/article/view/4461 Effects of mothers' education on the comprehensive quality of children in three dimensions: Firstly, with regard to physical quality, mothers' education level strengthens the prevention and treatment of illness and diseases and also fosters a healthier living lifestyle for children. Secondly, mothers' education level benefits the development of children's cognitive quality, individuality quality, and adaptability quality. Thirdly, children's science and cultural literacy are affected by educated mothers. Yu's paper sums up many reasons for celebrating the contributions of mothers to the literacy development and other developmental outcomes of children: "In conclusion, mothers with higher educational attainment can promote the comprehensive quality of their children and help support the sustainable development of society." Thanks for everything, Moms! Definition: Elixir: Cambridge English Dictionary: a substance, usually a liquid, with a magical power to cure, improve, or preserve something.

URL: From tgsticht at gmail.com Wed May 31 23:00:22 2023 From: tgsticht at gmail.com (Thomas Sticht) Date: Wed, 31 May 2023 15:00:22 -0700 Subject: [Reading-hall-of-fame] Global and National Parents Days Message-ID: 5/31/2023 Global and National Parents Days Tom Sticht, International Consultant in Adult Education (Ret.) On June 1st the nations of the world celebrate the Global Day of Parents (GDP) established by proclamation of the United Nations General Assembly in 2012 and first celebrated a decade ago on June 1, 2013. This international recognition of parents was preceded about a decade earlier in the United States when in 1994 President William Clinton signed into law a resolution by the U. S. Congress establishing the fourth Sunday of every July as Parents Day, recognizing the role of parents in the physical, mental, and social development of children. On both these special days in June and July attention is called to the important role of parenting in the lives of adults and their children. Now a new resource for advancing parenting in the rearing of children is available: Parent Nation, a new internet site online at https://parentnation.org. Based on the 2022 book by Dana Suskind the web site aims to enhance the power of parents in their children?s physical, cognitive, and social development. Partnering with a number of other organizations, including the National Center for Families Learning (formerly NC for Family Literacy) and Parents as Teachers, Parent Nation calls attention to the need for support services, including education, for parents in their critical work of raising children. This emphasis upon parenting and its relationship to adult literacy education was earlier noted in Sticht (2011) which called attention to a substantial body of scientific evidence supporting a call for the instruction of parents in the means of improving children?s learning at home and thereafter their learning at school. This article also calls attention to the work of Hart & Risley (2003) on the thirty million word gap between the number of words heard by children from welfare versus professional family homes. Interestingly, this thirty million word (TMW) gap became the basis for the name of the TMW Center for Early Learning & Public Health at the University of Chicago in 2017. The TMW Center in turn formed the 2023 Parent Nation web site discussed above. The Sticht (2011) article reviewed the role of the parent?s use of oral language in speaking and listening with their children and how this affected the literacy development of their children, which was also a focus of the Hart & Risley (2003) paper. A quarter century before that another report with a focus on literacy became a best seller in the world of education in the United States. Written by Anderson, Hiebert, Scott, & Wilkinson (1985), Becoming a Nation of Readers called attention to the importance of the education of parents in the further educational development of their children. The Introduction to the report by Robert Glaser makes the point about the role of parents in advancing children?s literacy and states: ?The parent and the home environment teach the child his or her first lessons and they are the first teacher for reading too.? One hundred and seventeen pages later, the report makes its recommendations ? about the conditions likely to produce citizens who read with high levels of skill and do so frequently with evident satisfaction?. Importantly, and consistent with Glaser?s comments, the first two of fifteen recommendations for becoming a nation of readers place the initial responsibility for teaching children to read squarely on the parents. Recommendation 1 states: ?Parents should read to preschool children and informally teach them about reading and writing?, while Recomenndation 2 follows on with noting that ?Parents should support school-aged children?s continued growth as readers?. Four years before the publication of Becoming a Nation of Readers, Teale (1981) published a paper entitled Parents Reading to Their Children: What We Know and Need to Know. Here he takes us further back almost three quarters of a century to the work of E. B. Huey who, in 1908, wrote about parents, children, and reading, and quoted Huey as writing, ?The secret of it all lies in the parents? reading aloud to and with the child?. Sticht (2011) notes that Huey also wrote that with regard to adults with reading difficulties, ?The school of the future will have as one of its important duties the instruction of parents in the means of assisting the child?s natural learning in the home.? This year of 2023, in June and July, 115 years following Huey?s recommendations, buttressed by Becoming a Nation of Readers and Parent Nation, we celebrate both the Global Day of Parents (June 1st) and National Parents Day (July 23rd) in recognition of the importance of parents in the intergenerational transfer of knowledge and skills into the next generation of children. With the implementation of a multiple life cycles education policy, which views the education of adults as an investment in the educability of children, we get ?double duty dollars?, we improve the lives of both parents and their children.
