After considering the
above-mentioned thoughts on journal writing, I decided to compile a condensed
version of my journal reflections, along with quotes from current literature,
and post them on an easily accessible website that will benefit those involved
in family literacy training with immigrants and those who are not fluent in the
English language. Of particular concern in my target audience are those who are
novices, starting out with desires to create and implement programs, either
original or mandated by other sources. I have produced a clear, succinct
Website that will provide tips based on what I learned through my experiences
designing and implementing a class of my own with the adult Latino LEP
population. It contains thirteen worthwhile lessons or “knowledge bytes” that I
acquired as a result of this experience, as well as my daily reflections
through it all. In addition to personal insights from reflective journals,
there are pertinent references in a bibliography of valuable sources where one
can turn to for more information on the process of helping immigrant and
refugee learners with literacy in their families.
