Karakia Whakataka te hau ki te uru May the westerly winds subside Whakataka te hau ki te tonga May the southerly winds subside Kia mākinakina ki uta That freeze the land Kia mātaratara ki tai And freeze the ocean E hī ake ana te atakura So that dawn brings with it He tio, he huka, he hau hū Ice, frost and chilly winds Tihei mauri ora! So let wellness prevail!
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals: SDG4 What are we trying to achieve? Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Literacy and numeracy are seen as essential and transformative skills, reducing vulnerability, and contributing to positive social, economic and life outcomes. World Education Forum (2016)
The lifelong learning paradigm Lifelong learning is predicated on the idea that the primary characteristic of Change modern society is change LLN skills contribute positively to people’s engagement in, and success Skills with, formal and non-formal training The ability to learn increases quality of life, social inclusion, Human active citizenship and personal flourishing development
Share a time that you simply Issues in adult could not learn what you learning needed to and explain how that felt Share your greatest learning achievement moment and how that made you feel
Compounding vulnerabilities Characteristics of lower-skilled learners Learning anxieties Gal, Grotlüschen, Tout & Kaiser, 2020
Meet a vulnerable learner: Niki Reflections on high school Niki: I sat there trying to understand the teacher, to follow it all, but as it went on, I didn’t get it… Started sitting with the dummies up the back, and we just kind of hid out. I just stopped going…
Compounding risk factors Reading comprehension skills Niki has difficulties learning from Negative affective factors reading Numeracy difficulties Niki doesn’t believe she can learn Niki has difficulties hard things, and gets anxious in understanding and learning environments learning the numeracy on her course Non-agentic approach Digital, health and to learning financial literacy skills Niki adopts a passive Niki struggles to learn online approach to learning
Meet a vulnerable learner: Niki Damon: So how are you doing with the course work? Niki: I can do the cutting, but I can’t actually do any of the maths, so I’ll fail those. And I can’t understand the stuff they give me to read, so I can’t get ahead of it. So I don’t know if I’ll ever actually get to work in a salon.
Long-term impact of low skills Matthew effect: The rich get richer, while the poor get poorer Lower skills Higher skills Increased risk of losing Learn new skills skills built up from creating positive school or work growth cycles Grotlüschen, 2016 Grotlüschen (2016)
Economic and social outcomes Research finds that adults with low LLN: Spend less time in employment and work in low-skilled, high labour jobs Experience high layoff rates, increased casual work, and lack of advancement in the workplace Carpentieri, Litster, & Frumkin, 2010; Grotlüschen et al., 2016; Ministry of Education, Grotlüschen (2016) 2017; MOE & MBIE, 2016; Parsons & Bynner, 2005, 2007.
Economic and social outcomes Report lower mental and physical health Have less engagement in social and civic activities More likely to have contact with the police, and/or Corrections Carpentieri, Litster, & Frumkin, 2010; Grotlüschen et al., 2016; Ministry of Education, Grotlüschen (2016) 2017; MOE & MBIE, 2016; Parsons & Bynner, 2005, 2007.
How big is the issue?
What have we learned?
The Embedded LN Process Know the Demands Know the Learner Know What to Do
Rawiri: Learner enrolled in a level 2 course Damon: Describe your feelings when you first saw the numeracy that was going to be in this course. Rawiri: Um speechless. Like how to build a rocket with no instructions. Like, I’s like seeing all these numbers, and I’s like, okay. I didn’t know any of this, and then yeah [stops talking, eyes tear up].
Rawiri’s first contact with Rawiri begins to Rawiri realises numeracy sit next to a he will not evokes anxiety friend who complete the and feelings of completes work course content inevitable for him this year failure Rawiri’s learning journey Rawiri’s absenteeism Rawiri begins to Frustration increases over avoid numeracy occurs when he the course of lessons and fails a practical the programme content test and he is removed

The a-ha moment of the day Focus questions The conclusions that can be drawn from this morning The surprises and puzzles from the information so far Are we there yet? Have we done enough?
Given the challenges have we got the policy settings right? Do they Focus questions need to be adapted for the TES? What would a new LLN Strategy look like? Do we need one? Given the challenges have we got the practice settings right?
How can we build from what we have in relation to capability Focus questions building in the sector? How might we do this in the future? How can the work of everyone in the room combine to take this mahi forward?
