Abstract

This chapter reflects on experiences in the field of adult education as an important example of workers’ education. Adult students and teachers are workers, part of the United States’ working class, and the field of adult education is ripe with lessons that can be applied to teaching and learning for social change. From 1987 to 2009, I worked in New York City’s adult education programs, teaching literacy, basic education and GED classes, trying to use the opportunity to develop consciousness and political engagement of working-class students.
