How were the policies developed?
- Summer 2004: The NIFL-AALPD Discussion List hosted a formal discussion of the NCSALL Research "How Teachers Change,"[[1]] and from that discussion, several PD policy implications emerged.
- Winter 2004: The AALPD Chair created the first draft of the PD policies, based upon what we know from research about policies that could support teachers to access professional development and to do their jobs well.
- January - September 2005: The NIFL-AALPD Discussion List Moderator conducted a survey of state policies, and hosted formal discussions of the draft PD Policies. The PD Policies were available for feedback through the NIFL-AALPD Discussion List and the AALPD website.
- May 2005: The AALPD Executive Board incorporated the field's feedback (see PD Policy Historical Document), and the resulting document was further revised at the AALPD Pre-Conference at COABE in Anaheim, CA.
- July - September 2005: The PD Policy revisions from the AALPD Pre-Conference were made available for feedback and editing in the Adult Literacy Education PD Wiki area: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Adult_Literacy_Professional_Development
- October 2005: The Executive Board revised the final list of policies upon which AALPD members will indicate whether or not they support the PD Policies [[2]].
- November 2005: Ninety-seven per cent of voting AALPD members indicated overwhelming support of AALPD to promote the PD Policies.
