Hello, all.  Cristine Smith here.  I am a former chair of the
Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers, former deputy
director of the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and
Literacy, and now an assistant professor at the University of
Massachusetts, Amherst.  Many of you know that I directed NCSALL's
five-year study of teacher change and professional development in adult
education.

 

I'm currently doing some research for an article about how the
accountability system in adult basic education has affected professional
development in our field. 

 

If you work in the field of adult basic and literacy education AND you
provide, plan or make decisions about professional development for
practitioners in your program, state or nationally, I'd like your help.

 

Please click on the link below.  It will take you to a short 10-question
survey.  You do not need to register, log in, or give your name, state,
or any personal information.  The whole survey takes no more than a few
minutes (depending on how much you write in the comments section of the
last question!)  Thanks.

The deadline for completing the survey is January 11, 2008.  Thank you
in advance for your assistance.  If you have any questions about the
survey, please contact me at cristinesmith at comcast.net
