The executive summary of a new NCSALL research report has just been 
posted on our website http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu and will be 
available in hard copy at the end of the month.

"Toward a New Pluralism in ABE/ESOL Classrooms: Teaching to Multiple 
'Cultures of Mind'"  provides a summary of the research conducted by 
Robert Kegan and his research team at Harvard (the full report will 
be available later but is quite long). This research applied Dr. 
Kegan's theory of adult development to participants in ABE and ESOL 
classes.

I believe this report will provide adult educators with a new lens 
with which to look at their students, understand why students 
sometimes prefer teaching approaches different than those we employ, 
see the value of group learning, and understand the transformation 
adults make in our programs.
