Research Priority

A priority for AALPD is to create a web-based resource of research in professional development. The web resource, in coordination with AALPD policies and the priorities for Advocacy and PD Standards, will support work in three areas:​​
  • Providing support for the implementation of AALPD policies at national, state and local levels.
  • Promoting growth in professional development practice through the dissemination of new models, approaches, and strategies.
  • Encouraging new research on critical issues related to professional development in the field of adult education and literacy.

Objectives

The current objectives for the Research Priority include:
  • ​Establishing a working group to develop the web resource.
  • Updating AALPD members on current research in PD.
  • Identifying graduate research-focused programs that focus on ABE, Adult ESOL, ASE, etc.
