I have recently returned to the University of Connecticut to finish my 
Ph.D., and in one of the courses I am participating in a group research 
project on teacher learning. Several wonderful people have spent time 
answering my interview questions, and now I'm hoping some of you will answer 
a few questions as well.

If you are willing to answer, any responses that are sent to me off-list 
will be confidential--I will not use anything that could identify you in my 
class discussions or written analysis. Of course, answers posted to the list 
may offer the chance to "Reflect and Evaluate" as a group.

Questions:
Using the definition of proficiency as "skilled application of knowledge," 
what are the areas of proficiency that you think educators most need, and 
why do you think they are important?

How have you developed proficiency? What activities have contributed most to 
your own learning as a teacher?

What is your current role as an educator (e.g., ESL teacher, ABE teacher, 
administrator)?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer any or all of these questions!

Eileen Eckert
