It may be that this is on our website at www.aalrc.org, but our site appears to be down and I can't tell you for sure. The suggestions were grouped into 3 areas: Personal Development, Instructional Techniques & Strategies, and Program Management & Growth. We developed a survey form with the most-requested suggestions, grouped accordingly, and sent the survey to all adult education and literacy programs in the state. From those results, we were able to schedule our staff development programs for the next three years. We included a ranking chart to determine the most-preferred methods/formats for staff development. FYI, those methods were: *single workshops *workshop series *peer coaching *action research *interactive classroom/teleconference *conference *summer institute *university coursework *self-directed learning *videos/cassettes *observing other teachers *other (of course) If the site continues to be unavailable, you can email me at prwhite@madisoncounty.net and I'll fax you a copy. But it's probably more effective to let your staff do the initial brainstorming. (Plus, ours is pretty outdated at this point.)
