CUNY Adult Literacy

CUNY’s Adult Literacy & High School Equivalency Program provides free classes for ABE, HSE & ESOL learners at 14 CUNY campuses across NYC.

[CUNY Adult Literacy @CUNYALP]

In Spring 2021, ESOL, ABE & HSE students from across @cunyalp programs submitted writing in the form of essays and poetry in response to the prompt: “My Pandemic Year” to share their stories of strength, fear, loss, humor, stress, & community.

In five years, nearly 80 percent of all job openings will require more than a high school degree. Adult education provides a significant opportunity to bridge the workforce supply-and-demand gap. @ReElectNydia #COABEontheHill2023 #AdultEdLiteracyWeek #AEFL2023 @NYCCAL @CUNYALP

@CUNYALP is hiring ESOL and high school equivalency instructors!

@mtrushkowsky @CUNYALP @eappleton Agreed. Things these students said about being good teachers, good leaders, are exactly what I want all teachers to come to know:

[Mark Trushkowsky (he/him/his) @mtrushkowsky]

They are not only leaders of students, but they are leaders for all of us in this work, who are also students. I learned so much about how to make space & invite others into it, how to teach, how to listen, & how to love in a community from these 4 heroes.
