I would love to see reports on research that document the efficacy of support for ABE, GED, & ESOL students. I think we all have a gut feeling that you can't just teach the curriculum: you have to support the whole person in order for learning at this level to be successful. What kinds of support work best & how much time is needed? What kinds of student support policies do other institutions use? I'm especially interested in issues related to on-site or distance support structures for distance/online learners.

The topic: transitions to post-secondary education. When it is posted to our web site, I will announce it. Volume 7A is on Youth in ABE, and it's well underway. What's next? I'm looking for ideas. What would you like to see as the next topic? What issues are most challenging to you? Please try and think in terms of cross-cutting topics: those relevant to ABE, GED,and ESOL, in most any settings. Thanks for your input.
