[AAACE-NLA] New discussion of Evidence-based Adult Education

[David Rosen]

Dear colleague,

 From late October to early December I moderated an online discussion 
about a National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy 
(NCSALL) paper, "Establishing an Evidence-based Adult Education 
System."   More than 200 adult literacy educators from across North 
America joined in. The purpose of the work group was “to have a 
thoughtful conversation about establishing an Evidence-based Adult 
Education System” in the United States. Messages, from practitioners 
and researchers, were posted in response to three sets of questions.

A second discussion will take place from late January into February, 
2004. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for a broad range of 
adult literacy education practitioners, researchers and others to read, 
react to,  and add to the first discussion.

  A synthesis of the first discussion will be found at

The NCSALL paper can be downloaded from

Subscribers to the new discussion will want to read the paper and the 
synthesis of the first discussion.
