As part of its Research–Based Practices Initiative, CALPRO compiled a list of publications, reports, and fact sheets on varied topics relevant to adult educators. Although the number of research studies focusing on adult learners is limited, the items are evidence–based or recognized as "promising practices" by federal and state agencies.

Fact Sheets

CALPRO develops fact sheets on topics of interest to adult education instructional staff and administrators.

Each fact sheet presents one topic and takes the form of frequently asked questions (FAQs).
