ABOUT THIS MONTH'S TOPIC

Around 75% of people currently in prison have low literacy skills (source). But when people who are in prison participate in education programs, they are 43% less likely to re-offend, compared to people who do not participate (source).

Education while in the corrections system makes a huge difference to what happens when adults leave the system. The Windham School District administers educational programs within the corrections system for the state of Texas, and prepares students to be contributing members of their communities through robust and innovative program opportunities.

NOTE: This morning of learning will run along the same lines as the Faith-Affiliated Symposium did in the past – this session replaces that learning opportunity in the 2025 training calendar.

Many people are motivated by their faith to help their communities, and for some, that leads them to sit alongside other adults and help them improve their literacy. This online session will focus on some best practices for teachers and others who work within faith-affiliated literacy programs.

Participants of all faiths, and none, are welcome at this event.

The Data Dilemma
Dr. Jenny McCormack Walker, Literacy Texas

Without reliable data, Literacy Texas struggles to be able to understand the complete picture of adult literacy across the state. Our organization applied for and was awarded a research grant to design a replicable study that will help our organization get the information it needs in order to best tell our story. This session will focus on the challenges to find consistent data for adult literacy CBOs, and it will outline some of our research goals for coming years. Our hope is that this data can help inform workforce and economic needs across Texas.
