Dear colleague,

 From late October to early December I moderated an online discussion 
about a National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy 
(NCSALL) paper, "Establishing an Evidence-based Adult Education 
System."   More than 200 adult literacy educators from across North 
America joined in. The purpose of the work group was “to have a 
thoughtful conversation about establishing an Evidence-based Adult 
Education System” in the United States. Messages, from practitioners 
and researchers, were posted in response to three sets of questions.

A second discussion will take place from late January into February, 
2004. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for a broad range of 
adult literacy education practitioners, researchers and others to read, 
react to,  and add to the first discussion.

  A synthesis of the first discussion will be found at

	http://www.alri.org/Rosen/ebae.htm

The NCSALL paper can be downloaded from

	http://gseweb.harvard.edu/~ncsall/

Subscribers to the new discussion will want to read the paper and the 
synthesis of the first discussion.
