So in the next phase, we will recruit and train local interviewers. We planned to do two long interviews with each participant. Of 10, we lost two participants. One disappeared and one declined to do the second interview. The findings from the study will prove useful to practitioners and policy makers.
Teachers can gain insight into the lives of their learners by reading the narratives.
Mathematics instruction might also include a wide range of real-life uses. And the life stories themselves would make a good text for other learners to read. This study could also be useful in measuring program performance. But that these changes will lead to post secondary education, secondary school diplomas, or career advanced for those who begin at the literacy level, is not evident in our study. States developing additional performance indicators besides the core indicators included in the Workforce Investment Act might look to the up-coming, expanded study, for guidance in what those indicators might be.
