For those of you interested in both professional development and in
NCSALL's research on learner persistence, we have recently developed a
study circle guide for conducting a 9 hour study circle (three 3-hour
sessions) for adult education and literacy teachers, focused on the
learner persistence research. You can download it and use the
step-by-step guide to conduct professional development on this topic for
teachers in your state or program. It's available at
http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu/teach/lp.pdf. Or go to NCSALL's website
(http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu), choose "Teaching and Training
Materials" from our home page, then scroll down until you see the
Learner Persistence Study Circle under "Training Materials".

There are also research reports and briefs about John Comings' research
available on the website at
http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu/research/report12.htm for the research
brief, or http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu/research/report12.pdf for the
full report. A new report on the most recent phase of the research is
due out soon. Thanks.
