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.
