The Department of Training and Workforce Development (DTWD) has once again provided some paid time to support the WA Adult Literacy and Numeracy (ALAN) Network. Seven facilitators were appointed for 2012 and they will undertake a range of functions designed to develop our membership and services.
Facilitators will focus on keeping up to date in a particular area (eg Adult literacy, Indigenous education, adult numeracy, online tools, ESL) as well as providing more general assistance to members to help us get the most from our online community.
The 2012 ALaN Network Facilitators are:
Chantal Adams – Kimberley Training Institute
Jo Hart – C.Y. O’Connor Institute
Matthew Highman – Polytechnic West
Dani Murray – independent, ex-Centacare Employment and Training
Helen Smith – Durack Institute of Technology
William Griffiths – Great Southern Institute of Technology
Sue Brennan – Central Institute of Technology
You can communicate with this group by responding to this blog or by posing questions on the CGEA Network Google Group (members only). They will respond as availability allows. Each facilitator brings a unique set of expertise so by posing your question to all of us, you can get information from different perspectives: urban, country, different class types and funding sources, and different backgrounds and experience.
Other members are encouraged to contribute as well – and if you enjoy it, perhaps you would like to nominate yourself for next year’s paid roles.
