This discussion list is open to all adult educators interested in exploring the connection of literacy teaching practice, research and policy. This includes ESL, ABE, GED, and ASE teachers. The LPRPConnections discussion list has four primary purposes: 1. To give practitioners a chance to discuss the relationship between adult literacy education practice and research. This includes how (and what) practitioners can learn from researchers, and how (and what)researchers can learn from practitioners; 2. To provide a forum where practitioners can ask questions about different approaches to conducting research, and about how implications for practice and policy are generated; 3. To create a space where practitioners can identify and discuss the kinds of research they would find helpful. When possible, list members can share information about research that has already been conducted, identify research needs, and discuss how the needed research might be initiated, and; 4. To help practitioners focus on the ways that policy decisions, including those about research, affect classroom practice. The LPRPConnections discussion list is facilitated by Erik Jacobson, veteran practitioner and Research Analyst at CALPRO/American Institutes for Research.
