I've been enjoying the action research discussion and am delighted to know
more about the projects in the Washington, DC area. The National Center for
the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL) was mentioned as a
resource, and I wanted to provide an update on our work and Web links.
NCSALL partnered with adult education in Minnesota to launch practitioner
research focused on reading several years ago. Minnesota has continued the
projects and are starting another year in 2006-07. You are invited to
investigate the training guide they are using, as well as the teacher's
reports at http://www.ncsall.net/?id=967.
You'll notice that this link also mentions the Northwest Practitioner
Knowledge Institute that Bonnita Solberg mentioned in her posts. It was
exciting for both the practitioners and the researchers to be a part of the
institute. The researchers were fascinated with the teachers' reports and
how the practitioners were coming to the same findings as the researchers
around pair work.
Thanks again for the discussion,
Kaye
