This website summarizes my work in basic skills development for adults, youth, and children in the United States and other countries.

Resources are provided for:

1. • integrating basic skills with other development goals (e.g., workforce and economic development, poverty reduction, health, environmental sustainability, prisoner re-entry, democratization);
   

2. • adult learner leadership;
   

3. • collaborative partnerships with diverse stakeholders.
   

I’ve had the great fortune to be supported by and work with many wonderful people -- adult learners, educators, and individuals from multiple stakeholder groups (communities, labor, employers, public health and  environmental organizations, criminal justice agencies, universities and community colleges, and others). 

I thank and salute those colleagues. And I welcome further opportunities to share and build on the good work that is represented here.
