This platform will constitute a vision for professional development for which we hope the field will advocate. Once in final form, these PD policies should improve professional development for our field. For instance, when WIA legislation passes, states will be developing new, multi-year state adult education plans. The National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium (NAEPDC) will use a final version of these policy recommendations at their November 2005 meeting in Denver to introduce State ABE Directors to policies that could improve their state professional development systems. Several of these PD policies, if adopted, would advance The National Literacy Summit 2000 Action Agenda (see the PD Policy Matrix). Draft Policies: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php?title=PDPolicyUpdate7-29-05 PD Policy Matrix: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/PDPolicyMatrix (To print the Matrix, it may be helpful to use the "landscape" print option.) We ask that individuals and organizations offer feedback on these draft policies by _September 14, 2005_. If you have additional references or real examples for the PD Policy Matrix, we would be glad to consider including them. To submit revisions: Email Jackie Taylor at: <jataylor@utk.edu> or add your feedback to this ALE Wiki page: http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php?title=AddingToThePDPolicyMatrix Please consider these policies carefully over the next few weeks, and add your voice in shaping this important national policy initiative.
