These questions are for teachers who have given and/or benefitted from individualized support in learning how to teach adults: 1) What has been your experience in giving/receiving individualized support, as happens in teacher mentoring programs? What types of mentoring programs does your local program or state provide? 2) Regarding visiting other teachers' classes, what models have been tried in your area? In your state? What is required? What have been the benefits to teachers? 3) What would you recommend to program directors or to state funders regarding the inclusion (or not) of mentoring programs for adult literacy teachers? What important components (if any) would you stress/highlight? If anyone happens to share these questions (or modified versions) on public, statewide teacher discussion lists, please feel free to cross-post repsonses here. Teachers, your perspectives on PD are a valuable and important contribution to our discussions. Thanks for sharing, and for joining us in this forum. All my best, Jackie Taylor List Facilitator, NIFL-AALPD
