Research Opportunity!

Questions about what research says about teaching adults how to read and write are particularly relevant as programs and teachers struggle with choosing the most effective ways to develop adults’ academic skills.  The Minnesota Department of Education, ABE Section, is sponsoring a practitioner research training to engage ABE, ASE, and ESL practitioners in trying out instructional strategies related to reading and writing.  The training is provided by Bella Hanson, Coordinator of the Evidence-based Practice Project, and Marn Frank, Adult Learning Disability Specialist at Learning Disabilities Association of Minnesota. Through this collaborative effort, we are able to have sixteen participants in the project.  Participants will receive 28 CEUs and a $500 stipend for completing the four session activities.  Participants will be accepted on a first come, first served basis. The deadline for applications is November 9, 2007.  Click here for details and the application form.
