Jon,

This might be the report you are looking for (though it's a research
report, not a literacy partnership.)  The link can be found on the CAELA
website at:
http://www.cal.org/caela/esl_resources/bibliographies/literacy.html.
Follow the CAELA link, then scroll down to find the citation below.

Condelli, L. Effective instruction for adult ESL literacy students:
Findings from the What Works Study

Larry Condelli and Heide Wrigley were principal researchers on a
literacy study concerning adult ESL literacy students. This detailed
report is located on the National Research and Development for Adult
Literacy and Numeracy Web site from the United Kingdom at
www.nrdc.org.uk <http://www.nrdc.org.uk/> . Although the study was not a
quantitative one, it is one of the few studies to date on the adult ESL
literacy population, and as such, is of interest to the field. The
report includes an overview of the study's design and procedures and the
instructional framework and observation guide. It explains the analytic
approach used in looking at data, summarizes the study's main findings,
and offers suggestions for further research. Because the paper includes
an extensive bibliography focused on research and analysis, it may be of
special interest to researchers or practitioners who want to investigate
how data relates to their own professional wisdom. This article and
Wrigley's (below) provide suggestions to teachers on what works with
literacy-level adult English language learners.

Report


Hello All: 
 
I have found a reference to the What Works Literacy Partnership on the
New York City Literacy Partner's website. It mentions a report and gives
a link, however the link is dead. An internet search yielded a synopsis
of project on the SABES website. 
 
I would be interested in seeing the complete report that was produced.
Does anyone have a copy or know where I might obtain one? 
 
Thanks for your assistance. 
 
Jon Doherty
