| Abstract | Shorthand is, by definition, coded symbolism used for purposes of speed. It's a system of abbreviation, intended to skim the top of more complex systems of meaning, taking shortcuts but keeping track of the important facts. Shorthand is used all the time in adult basic education (ABE). The very name of the field, adult "basic" education, can be seen as one of these kinds of shorthand. From one perspective, it quickly indicates a particular adult educational context; from another, it positions participants in that context on the bottom tier of an imagined hierarchy of adult learning. Within ABE, another system of shorthand reinforces and, Amy Pickard argues, racializes this supposed hierarchy: grade-level equivalencies (GLEs) as descriptors of adult learning. Because much of Pickard's ABE teaching has been in classrooms where she was a White teacher to mostly Black learners, this personal reflection, informed by principles of critical autoethnography (Boylorn & Orbe, 2013; Ellis & Bochner, 2000), considers an instance of her own use of GLEs as a way of exploring systems that promote anti-Blackness in adult education. Understanding how individual participation in everyday systems can perpetuate systemic racism is an essential part of conscientious adult education practice in an unjust society. (ERIC). |
