Learning as an adult takes time you may already struggle to find. A tutoring session has to fit around work, family, and everything else that needs you. For the staff who make those sessions possible, adult literacy software can help keep track of what each learner is working toward and how they’re doing.

At Santa Barbara Public Library, the Literacy Education for Adults and Families (LEAF) program helps people work toward those goals. Its free, confidential, one-to-one tutoring gives adult learners a place to build reading, writing, and English skills or prepare for the GED or U.S. citizenship test.

We’re delighted that Santa Barbara Public Library’s adult literacy team has chosen the America Learns Impact Suite.

What can a data management system do for an adult literacy program?

The America Learns Impact Suite is adult literacy software that gives tutoring programs one place to manage learner and volunteer tutor records, track progress toward learning goals, and pull together data for funder reports.

That matters when a coordinator needs to see how a learner is doing before checking in with their tutor. It matters again when a report is due and the team needs to make sense of progress across the whole program. Hayward Public Library’s story shows what that can look like in practice, including how its team manages learner and tutor data for California Library Literacy Services reporting.

Behind every record is someone making time to work toward a goal they chose. We’re glad to support the library staff and volunteer tutors who make that time count.

Welcome, Santa Barbara Public Library. We’re so glad to be working and learning with you.
