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.

(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.
