Hello - This is Clare Strawn. I have been working with Steve on the
Longitudinal Study since the start. Most of my analytic work has been on
understanding patterns of participation in adult education programs. I am
interested in hearing if and how teachers incorporate the project of
"learning how to learn" into the curriculum, giving learners tools for self
study and lifelong learning.

I'm looking forward to participating in this discussion with you.

Clare

In response to the question about how we retained our sample.  From the
beginning of the study we decided to invest in building relationships with
our respondents. We value their contributions with payment. We have an
in-house system for keeping in touch with people by calling them every three
months to update our information. It is also very important to ask them for
contacts of friends and relatives who can help us find them when we loose
contact with us.  

Clare
