NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR LITERACY

Adult education teachers and administrators:  
Have you ever wished you could have some input into decisions that are
being made nationally on professional development opportunities? If so,
here is your chance to express your opinion and share your thoughts.  

The National Institute for Literacy is conducting a survey on the
professional development needs of adult education practitioners across
the country. We need your help to gather information that reflects your
own needs in the area of professional development as well as how you
think professional development should be offered. We are asking for only
10-15 minutes of your time.  

Follow this link to take the survey at:
http://www.nifl.gov/lincs/needssurvey/

Information collected from the professional development needs survey
will be used by the Institute and the LINCS Regional Resource Centers to
(1) give us insights on how Institute-produced materials and training
can be disseminated and (2) identify areas where the Institute might
want to develop additional materials and trainings. The Regional
Resource Centers will use the data to develop a regional dissemination
plan that will include how to best disseminate and present
Institute-sponsored resources and training in partnership with the state
organizations.

The National Institute for Literacy, a federal agency, provides
leadership on literacy issues, including the improvement of reading
instruction for children, youth, and adults. In consultation with the
U.S. Departments of Education, Labor, and Health and Human Services, the
Institute serves as a national resource on current, comprehensive
literacy research, practice, and policy. 

The National Institute for Literacy is committed to the dissemination of
high-quality resources to help practitioners use evidence-based
instructional practices that improve outcomes in adult learners'
literacy skills. LINCS is the backbone of the Institute's dissemination
system, providing information on a wide variety of literacy relevant
topics, issues, and resources through regional resource centers,
collections of resources, and discussion lists. For more information

NOTE: The valid OMB control number for this information collection is
1800-0011 v. 86.
