Family Literacy Issue Project

Summary: Candidates are to explore a family literacy problem globally and engage people around those issues. You will complete this assignment in groups, which you all have selected on the group sign up sheet

Task Description: Research, select, and analyze a family literacy issue locally or internationally. As you research the family literacy issue, keep in mind the different perspectives of the stakeholders involved, and evaluate what is working for those countries and other countries with the same or similar issue to develop a plan to solve that particular issue. You may contact a librarian at the Green Library for assistance on research.

After researching, evaluating, discussing and reflecting on the family literacy problem with your group members and the stakeholders from that country(ies), present your projects using Powerpoint with audio narration. Make sure your project includes:

- The family literacy problem and how the interrelatedness of culture and structure impact family literacy programs at the local, global, and international level.

- A multi-perspective analysis of diverse family literacy programs that are practiced in the local, national, and international arenas. This is an in-depth analysis of the different perspectives (stakeholders) involved in the family literacy programs offered in the country of the issue your group is analyzing.

- How your group collaboratively attempted to create a solution to at least one of the problems discovered. Include challenges you might have encountered and how you overcame to solve the problem. Make sure to be detailed.
