No Frills - Call for papers

We invite submissions for papers for the 17th National Vocational Education Training Research Conference, 'No Frills' 2008. NCVER and TAFE Tasmania, will co-host this three day event (9-11 July) in Launceston, Tasmania. The conference will focus on strategies, observations and proven practices that can influence an even better VET system in Australia. We seek papers that rely on sound evidence-based research rather than on descriptive or opinion based work. For more information please visit:

Working from strengths: Venturing towards strength-based adult education

Peter Waterhouse, Crina Virgona

Developed for practitioners, this resource introduces adult literacy educators to the principles of strength-based practice, a technique that concentrates on the strengths, capacities and aspirations of individuals and uses these as a catalyst for change and growth. The resource provides examples of key processes and techniques, as well as information about where to access additional resources relating to strength-based practice.
