Learner Persistence: Questions for Practitioners – to Inform Research

From LiteracyTentWiki

For the most part, implications and questions are presented as originally written by participants at the Meeting of Minds Symposium. This means that some items might be fragments of thoughts and therefore hard to understand. If you were a participant and see such a response, please feel free to edit the implication to reflect what you or your table was thinking.

To comment on the implications, use the edit function of the wiki. To add a new implication, use a single *. To add a comment to an implication, use **. Using this notation creates the following structure:

Questions for Practitioners – to Inform Research

• Need to review the research that has been done on dyslexia population. Lots of data here on persistence and implications for adult education.
• Need to rethink the adult ed. delivery system. Focus on students that don’t fit the NRS system as it is today. Need a new model with new definitions.
• Common characteristics of effective orientation
• How does adult ed. breakdown cultural differences in a quantifiable way?
