Evidence-based Practice: A Workshop for Training Adult Basic Education,
TANF and One-Stop Practitioners and Program Administrators

The National Institute for Literacy presents this one-day workshop
created by the National Center for Study of Adult Learning and Literacy
(NCSALL) to help practitioners understand what evidence-based practice
is and what research is all about.  It is an interactive, fun, and
experiential set of activities that helps those with "research phobia"
to feel comfortable looking at and judging the usefulness of adult basic
education and literacy-related research.  In the afternoon, there is
time to think about how to apply what is learned once back in your
program, especially how to integrate what's been learned about reading
with your program's priorities for improvement. 

 

Presenters: Cristine Smith and Kaye Beall

Full-day Session: April 28, 2008, 8:30 am-3:30 pm
