If one doesn\u2019t have such a credential, he\/she would need to be enrolled and making satisfactory progress in classes leading to a diploma, GED or its equivalent.\u00a0 Under the bill, which has passed the House, these requirements can be waived by states if they are deemed to be unduly burdensome.<\/p>\n<p>This is a good example of legislation that may have pros and cons depending on your perspective.\u00a0 What would be the potential impact of such a law?\u00a0 Would it create an additional demand for services, and if so, from where would the resources come to meet this demand?\u00a0\u00a0 Congress needs to hear from adult education and literacy practitioners on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>This bill is also good example of legislation that, if passed, would provide an opportunity to let state policy makers know your thoughts on if and how such a provision should be implemented here in Florida.\u00a0 You\u2019re the experts and they need to know your thoughts on matters important to our field.\u00a0 They should also hear from adult learners who may be impacted by such legislation.\u00a0 Educate yourself on what you can do in an official capacity and what you may need to do as a private citizen.\u00a0\u00a0 The National Coalition for Literacy has good guidelines on <a href=\"http:\/\/national-coalition-literacy.org\/advocacy\/tklegally.html\">what you can legally do. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>With Florida\u2019s legislative session just around the corner, this is a good time to stay informed, get plugged in and become actively engaged in the process.\u00a0 We\u2019ll try to keep you updated on significant new developments.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some great national and state resources to keep you informed and\/or engaged.<\/p>\n<p><strong>National<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 National Coalition for Literacy<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Legislative Action Center<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.capwiz.com\/ncl\/home\/\">http:\/\/www.capwiz.com\/ncl\/home\/<\/a><br \/>\n<strong>Advocacy Tool Kit<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.national-coalition-literacy.org\/\">http:\/\/www.national-coalition-literacy.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ProLiteracy<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.proliteracy.org\/page.aspx?pid=601\">http:\/\/www.proliteracy.org\/page.aspx?pid=601<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 National Council of State Directors of Adult Education<\/strong><\/em><strong><em> (<\/em><\/strong><em><strong>NCSDAE<\/strong><\/em><strong><em>)<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcgraw-hillresearchfoundation.org\/roi-adult-ed-and-training\"><em>\u201c<\/em><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcgraw-hillresearchfoundation.org\/roi-adult-ed-and-training\"><em>The Return on Investment (ROI) From Adult Education and Training.\u201d<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Florida Senate<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flsenate.gov\/\">http:\/\/www.flsenate.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Florida House<\/strong>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flhouse.gov\/\">http:\/\/www.flhouse.gov<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ACE of Florida<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.aceofflorida.org\/advocacy\/legislative-alerts\">http:\/\/www.aceofflorida.org\/advocacy\/legislative-alerts<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FLDOE, Career and Adult Education<\/strong>\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fldoe.org\/Workforce\/legislation.asp\">http:\/\/www.fldoe.org\/Workforce\/legislation.asp<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FLDOE, Statistics by Legislative District<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/fldoehub.org\/PerformanceProfile\">http:\/\/fldoehub.org\/PerformanceProfile<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FLC, FL Data and Statistics Reference Guide <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floridaliteracy.org\/about_literacy__facts_and_statistics.html\">http:\/\/www.floridaliteracy.org\/about_literacy__facts_and_statistics.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanks to all of you who were able to join me for our recent webinar on Community Outreach and Advocacy.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If you missed the session, it is still available to view on FLC\u2019s website.
