The Northwest Practitioner Knowledge Institute
As part of the Northwest Practitioner Knowledge Institute, teachers and professional developers from Oregon, Idaho, Washington, Wyoming, and California met at the English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Lab School at Portland State University to discuss emerging findings from Lab School research and to develop ways to apply these findings in their adult ESOL classrooms. The two-session institute, a project of NCSALL’s initiative, Connecting Practice, Policy, and Research (CPPR), provided teachers opportunities to interact with researchers and to explore research in depth.
- NCSALL's Collection of Teacher Reports from the Northwest Practitioner Knowledge Institute
Two practitioners from California worked with CALPRO as part of the Northwest Practitioner Knowledge Institute. Each of the teachers from California posted to blogs (web logs) about their experiences using this research in her own classroom. They also wrote final reports with suggestions for practice.
