>Dear Colleague:

>Would you like to access staff development activities, agendas, and other PD

>tools or strategies designed and used by other professional development

>colleagues? Would you like to obtain feedback from others about the PD

>activities you have created?

>

>As a service to the field and in response to a need expressed by our members,

>the Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers created the

>"Professional Development Registry": an online resource for sharing PD tools,

>obtaining feedback, or seeing the actual professional development activities

>that others have created -- facilitator guides, workshop agendas and 

>outlines,

>and manuals that describe how to conduct training for adult education

>practitioners.

>

>Visit: http://www.aalpd.org/

>(Click on "PD Registry" in the left-hand toolbar)

>

>The PD Registry evolved from an idea suggested by NIFL-AALPD subscribers who

>were looking for a way to share files and obtain feedback from colleagues.

>Materials posted to the PD Registry can be as simple as an agenda or steps 

>for

>facilitating a short activity, or it can be fully-developed training guides

>and "how to" manuals you have designed and written. The AALPD does not assess

>or judge the quality of any resources that are "registered", we only ask that

>the resources posted meet the simple criteria listed below.

>

>Best Regards,

>

>Executive Board, Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers

>=====================================

>Acceptance Criteria

>

>AALPD provides the PD registry for access purposes only. AALPD will post all

>professional development materials submitted to the PD registry if they meet

>the following criteria:

>

>- All submissions to the PD Registry must be "how to" manuals or guides for

>facilitating professional development, not just descriptions of resources

>about teaching or PD.

>

>- Only professional development resources that are free for downloading will

>be posted. Professional development activities that are fee-based or 

>dependent

>upon a particular facilitator will not be accepted.

>

>- All the resources must be available electronically, either on another

>website or on the AALPD website. If you do not have the means to make your

>resource available on a website but it is available electronically, you can

>upload your file for submission to the PD Registry using the online

>submissions form.
