Recognizing Life's Work
Helping Learners Connect their Essential Skills from Home to Work
View Resource
Recognizing Life’s Work: Helping Learners Connect Their Essential Skills from Home to Work—A Practitioner’s Resource Kit” highlights the Essential Skills (ES) developed and strengthened through 12 different common leisure and home-based-activities. The kit is a comprehensive bank of materials that include high and low-level learning activities, authentic documents, steps to the answers to the learning activities, and fictional ‘day-in-the-life of a job’ case studies. The tools help practitioners and their learners make the link between the most important Essential Skills used in leisure activities to occupations that also require the same Essential Skills. This resource provides credibility, validity and recognition to the Essential Skills that adults develop and strengthen through daily home and life activities and emphasizes that adult learners with no, or limited, work experience, still have a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience to bring to the workplace.
The Most Important Essential Skills database (designed for use specifically with this project) is in Word to assist practitioners in easily identifying the occupations pastimes are linked to. For instructions see page 264 of the resource.
