COABE is pleased to share that the following campaigns are underway to highlight Adult Ed and Family Literacy Week:
-Share Your Keys for Success for Adult Education and Family Literacy Week
What is your key to success in adult education? Who has inspired you in your education journey? Is it your son or daughter? A parent? A teacher or mentor? Are you your own key to success? Post a picture or video of you with your “key to success” to COABE’s Facebook page now through September 26. Join us in celebrating your journey and those who encourage or inspire you along the way.
COABE will feature all submissions on the COABE website this fall, and at the 2016 COABE Conference in Dallas, Texas this spring. Anyone who has attended adult education classes or who works in the field of adult education can participate. One free COABE Conference Registration will be awarded via a random drawing of submissions. Twenty others will receive a free phone charger. Let’s celebrate those who inspire us and see how many “keys” we can find!
-ABC's of Investing in Adult Education- in 140 Characters or Less!
With thanks to Tom Sticht, COABE is publishing tweets Mr. Sticht has prepared using his well-known ABC’s of Investing in Adult Education. Tweet one-per-day starting September 1st-26th to help raise awareness of adult literacy. Click here for a list of tweets.
We have provided a number of additional resources for the field, including cross linking to our partner's World Ed and NCL on our Adult Ed and Family Literacy page (more details here).
Please spread the word!

Subject: [NCL Members] new NCL messaging for AEFL Week - please pass it
along!

To: members@lists.national-coalition-literacy.orgIf you could only read as well as a third grader, what would it be like to apply for a job?
If you couldn’t speak English, what would you say to your child’s teacher on Back-to-School Night?
If you couldn’t do basic math, what would it be like to pay your bills each month?
Making a better life for yourself and your family is the American Dream. But that dream is out of reach to millions of Americans, native and foreign born, because they struggle to read, write, do basic math, and speak English--and we’re all paying the price. It’s a problem we can’t fix without your help.
Just in time for the upcoming AEFL Week, NCL is very excited to share its hot-off-the-press messaging about adult education (the sample above comes from that messaging). You can find customizable messaging for direct service providers, donors, and policy makers on our AEFL Week Resources page. Please share as widely as you can with your networks. Let's get the word out - thank you!
