Fighting to Finish

"Fighting to Finish" presents an innovative, effective, theory based, but tutor friendly method devised to encourage learners' persistence and perseverance, and to strengthen the training, preparation, and retention of tutors. The method employs learners' personal stories or oral histories to develop learners' literacy abilities, to problem solve, and to manage conflict. It enhances learners' determination to achieve their literacy and educational goals. Learners' efforts help tutors become more inspired and motivated, and thus more committed to the program.

"Fighting to Finish" explains and illustrates how this method can be easily adapted by adult literacy programs and used by their volunteer tutors for the benefit of their learners and themselves.
