I am interested in hooking up with folks in our network who have experience developing and deploying curriculum in the Adult Ed/Workers Rights/ESOL nexus.
We are interesting in exploring:

what kinds of organizations are offering community-based or union-based programs ESOL training centered in workers' rights?
what is the biggest need in this area (content/literacy level)?
how have you deployed curriculum (though community college, non-profits, unions)
taught by staff in-house, or via a contracted non-profit?

Please contact me with sources. Thank you in advance!

Hi Adair:

We've been working in these intersections in Illinois for the past decade and I'm happy to chat with you sometime.

Here's a link with a little information about the non-union workers' rights training programhttps://lep.illinois.edu/workers-rights-for-all/ we've built as well as a link to download our workers' rights for workforce development curriculum. We also just received funding to update all of these materials and expand our scope for workers' rights training in high schools and career track programming in community colleges. I'm currently working with partners across the country to see how these materials could be replicated for other cities/states.

Please email me if you are interested in learning more!

Here is a section of a web page I did when I worked at Dundalk Community
College. Every student was a worker, often rushing from a job at Wal-Mart
to take a class, and they had many of the usual questions about how they
were treated at work.
So I created this resource, using expert presenters,and it was very
popular. (I saw "was" because I am now retired).
