is a national Adult Ed organization. Statewide orgs such as CCAE are affiliated with it. COABE just finished out their national conference.? COABE does great work is and is very well run.
They have a journal that comes out four times a year and each issue has a theme.
The newest theme is Advocacy.? Marina Kravtsova and I co-wrote an article about Advocacy and English Learner Adult Ed students.?
I didn't think to alert you all to the call for articles - as of course, someone from OAEF could have submitted an article on advocacy and Older Adults Adult Ed.
The article process is - in my opinion - pretty trying - but if you succeed at it - you can reach a national audience.
Sharing all this with you so it's on your radar. If you see a future theme that you think connects with OAEF goals, I encourage you to submit a proposal for an article. I'm happy to support but definitely do NOT volunteer to co-write such an article (just as an fyi, lol).
FYI,s another national Adult Ed organization -- and more academic in orientation. I presented at an AAACE Conference in 2023 - and there was another presentation that focused on Older Adults.? The next AAACE Conference will be in Reno and I believe you can apply to present both in person and remotely.
