The Tasmanian Council for Adult Literacy (TCAL) is the peak body for adult literacy and numeracy practitioners in Tasmania. We provide adult literacy and numeracy practitioners with resources and professional opportunities and aim to promote awareness of adult literacy and numeracy by facilitating a co-operative and supportive network for practitioners. TCAL actively promotes literacy and numeracy as key skills in effective lifelong learning.
Our objectives:
- To develop and maintain a community of practice for the exchange of information and ideas
- To provide input to government policy in the field of adult literacy and numeracy
- To promote research activities related to adult literacy and numeracy
- To conduct professional development workshops
TCAL is a not for profit association run entirely by volunteers. We rely on membership fees and grants to fund our activities.
Our members are teachers, trainers, students and volunteers from various workplaces, community organisations and schools and the organisations themselves.
TCAL is affiliated with the Australian Council for Adult Literacy (ACAL) and is a member of the 26TEN network.
