In her workshop, Aleeshea will outline a project that was designed to simplify the process of embedding literacy and numeracy. Participants will have the opportunity to share what they already do well and what challenges they face when embedding in their context. Aleeshea will also present a range of strategies and a collection of resources; ‘short guides to embedding’.
Aleeshea has worked in the area of embedding literacy and numeracy for several years, helping tutors develop simple solutions to embedding literacy and numeracy into their programmes. She has taught NCALNE, provided practice leadership in a variety of areas including prison based education and written and reviewed tutor training programmes.
Aleeshea is passionate about supporting learners to re-engage and have a positive experience of education and is currently working as a programme leader in the School of Foundation and Bridging at the Open Polytechnic. While completing a Masters in Adult Literacy and Numeracy Education, she explored the idea of ‘literacy transitions’ and how the sector can better manage these.
