[ProfessionalDevelopment 1823] from Cris, Accountability and Professional Development SurveyTaylor, Jackie jataylor at utk.eduThu Jan 3 11:18:56 EST 2008
Hello, all. Cristine Smith here. So far, I have gotten 40 responses to the Survey I asked you to complete in December! I'm very thrilled with this response. For those of you who took the time to fill it out, THANK YOU!! The information I'm getting from you is quite valuable and will be, I hope, valuable to our field, especially those of us who work in professional development. For those of you who haven't yet filled out the survey, there's still time! Read on.... I am a former chair of the Association of Adult Literacy Professional Developers, former deputy director of the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy, and now an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Many of you know that I directed NCSALL's five-year study of teacher change and professional development in adult education. I'm currently doing some research for an article about how the accountability system in adult basic education has affected professional development in our field. If you work in the field of adult basic and literacy education AND you provide, plan or make decisions about professional development for practitioners in your program, state or nationally, I'd like your help. Please click on the link below. It will take you to a short 10-question survey. You do not need to register, log in, or give your name, state, or any personal information. The whole survey takes no more than a few minutes (depending on how much you write in the comments section of the last question!) Thanks. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=TseraqLIt9aH5FJ5TV3ENQ_3d_3d <http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=TseraqLIt9aH5FJ5TV3ENQ_3d_3d> The deadline for completing the survey is January 11, 2008. Thank you in advance for your assistance.
