The Directors and Moderators of the National Institute for Literacy's LINCS
Regional Resource Centers, Resource Collections, and Discussion Lists will
present a Research to Practice Institute during the ProLiteracy Worldwide conference in Little Rock, Arkansas October 1-4. The U.S. programs division of ProLiteracy Worldwide is the largest adult literacy organization in the nation, with more than 1,200 member groups nationwide.
The Research to Practice Institute will include a series of pre-conference
and conference sessions focused on research and the use of high-quality
resources. These interactive sessions will showcase the National Institute
for Literacy's services and address a variety of topics including
assessment, basic skills, professional development, program planning,
reading, and workforce competitiveness.
This is an opportunity for practitioners to learn more about LINCS – Literacy Information and Communication System – projects, the benefits of using the Institute's
online literacy Discussion Lists for professional development, and what the
Regional Resource Centers and Collections have to offer. The Regional Resource Centers, which service the nation, are located in Boston, MA, Knoxville, TN and
Oakland, CA.
