[NLA] RE: NLA Infor

[John Comings]

The executive summary of NCSALL's adult development study, "Toward a 
New Pluralism in the ABE/ESOL Classroom:  Teaching to Multiple 
Cultures of Mind"  is now up on our website:
 
http://ncsall.gse.harvard.edu

This research brings a new perspective to how we think about our 
students, how we look at the impact of participation in our programs, 
and how we teach.  This project is grounded in decades of work on 
adult development, but this is probably the first time that the 
ABE/ESOL/GED population has been part of adult development research.

The newest issue of Focus on Basics contains articles on this 
research on and on adult development.  Reading the new FOB issue and 
the executive summary of this research will provide you with a strong 
foundation for understanding the adult development perspective.

The full research report will be available in about a month.
