There is some really good information about Green Jobs on Hazel Parker's blog. Hazel has been the literacy education coach for Literacy AmeriCorps New Orleans this past year.
(See www.hazelsliteracylagniappe.blogspot.com/2009/04/literacy-lagniappe-tip-16-green-jobs.html)
Here is some of what Hazel said:
" I thought it would be appropriate to post some information about green jobs and adult learners. A few weeks ago, NIFL's Special Topics Discussion List addressed green jobs and basic skills. In response to a question about green jobs, the following resource was mentioned - Environmental Defense Fund's Green Jobs Guidebook, http://www.edf.org/article.cfm or http://www.greenforall.org/resources/green-jobs-guidebook. This guidebook provides the experience, training and skills needed for specific green jobs. Inform your learners about green jobs and let them know there are many possibilities for green collar jobs."
For more info on this and other literacy education topics, see Hazel's blog at www.hazelsliteracylagniappe.blogspot.com/
This information about Green Jobs should be helpful for our school now that Sr.Kathleen has begun the new project of growing a school garden.
