Each of these major civic events will determine a great deal about the future. That’s why the New England Literacy Resource Center (NELRC) at World Education is working to encourage adult education programs to integrate stronger-than-usual attention to civics in the coming year. As adult educators, we need to support our learners to “ Stand Up and Be Counted “. View our latest webinar on Census 2020 featuring California’s Adult Education Program resources. The Change Agent Play is an important part of every culture. We learn by playing. We connect with others, challenge ourselves, relax, and have fun. In this issue of The Change Agent , students write (playfully or seriously!) about a topic we are all familiar with. Use this issue, full of multi-level articles, graphics, and activities, to teach basic skills and inspire students to take on more complex texts and add to their knowledge in social studies and other areas. If you work in New England, you may access The Change Agent using an online subscription paid for by your state through their membership in the New England Literacy Resource Center.

This webinar reviews how the 2020 Census works, why it matters, challenges that threaten a full population count, and how adult education programs can help adults understand and participate in the 2020 Census.
