If I ran the Literacy Center, we would move forward on the consortium of Region 10 (Kent, Allegan, Ottawa) by creating a one stop agency within each county that assesses learners and refers them to the first step/agency on their personal literacy journey. Each county would house a literacy council with one on one tutoring, Family Literacy programming in partnership with area schools, an Adult Education Agency with Adult Basic Education courses at all levels, ELL courses at all levels, and GED preparation and testing, a Workplace Readiness agency with skill training and certification, a Post Secondary transition center, and a Community College that would include developmental courses and credit courses. These agencies would share resources, learners, space, and funding in order to make sure that each adult learner is placed and working towards his/her personal goals in an efficient and successful fashion.
