If you want to teach adults to read and write, you have to come up with something. Salad recipes for example. How Josef Sand adapts to the different participants in his literacy courses.
Josef Sand is a lecturer for basic education and literacy at the Munich Adult Education Center. He mainly teaches adults. He doesn’t really like to lecture you, that becomes clear after just a few questions. Sometimes he thinks for a long time before answering, and it often sounds as if he has carefully searched the language for the right wording. Josef Sand has a solid academic education and a professional career that gave him a wealth of experience in dealing with people: studied philosophy and history at the Philosophical-Theological University of Bamberg, Catholic theology in London. Twelve years as a religious teacher in Gilching and Fürstenfeldbruck, organization of youth exchange programs with England, Poland and Malta. 25 years as head of department at the Bavarian State School for the Deaf, working in an international church educational center in Pretoria, South Africa. He wants things to continue to be meaningful even after he retires: Since 2015, he has been supporting women and men four times a week in losing their fear of letters.
