Home

This training module is a resource for professional developers who want to help teachers in adult education programs teach writing more effectively. The module contains

• detailed information about the materials and preparation necessary to conduct the workshop,
• annotated agendas for each session in the workshops, and
• links to many adult education resources.

The suggested framework for this module includes a 2-day, face-to-face kick-off meeting, several weeks of online collaboration, and then a 2-day, face-to-face wrap-up session. The framework, based on project-based learning theory, includes a classroom-based investigation of teaching practice conducted by each teacher. The module makes use of the Professional Devlopment Kit (PDK) developed by NCAL.
