About the Adult ELL Pathway To Literacy Program
Who are we?
The Pathway to Literacy initiative grew out of an apparent gap in resources and services for adult English AND literacy learners. With the vision and leadership of Ginger Kosobucki (Immigrant Welcome Center) and Kari Moore (Exodus Refugee Immigration), deep collaboration among Indianapolis-area adult education providers and individual teachers began. The team has been working together to research, design, develop, and pilot a tiered language and literacy program for beginning adult English Learners.
