See www.ku-crl.org for details. The materials are designed for 7-8th graders with learning difficulties. While there's way too much information that would be directly usable for my program, there is also much to draw on that I expect to be implementing in January. For use at the direct program level in my setting, the materials would take a lot of streamling, while not losing the fundamentals. Moreover, the pedagogical assumptions that govern these modules might need to be reconfigured in some way in light of vartious student-centered adult education pedagogies. Perhaps there is an adult education institute that could work with the Center of Research and Learning to figure out how to craft trainingmodules that would be morre directly appropriate for adult literacy, ESOL, and GED instructors George Demetrion ----- Original Message ----- From: "jataylor" <jataylor@utk.edu> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-aalpd@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 3:17 PM Subject: [NIFL-AALPD:832] Collaborative PD > The following is a cross-post from the AAACE-NLA list that I think is > appropriate here, and that you may find of interest.
