Concurrent
Sessions
 |
The 30 concurrent sessions featured nationally recognized
scholars discussing their current work with a specific
focus on supporting student success. All sessions addressed
to some degree the challenges of supporting student
success in a quality adult basic education and literacy
education system and the ways in which research can
further the development and implementation of quality
policy and practice. Each presenter prepared an abstract
of his/her research. These were printed and compiled
into binders that were given to participants at registration.

Sessions were structured in the following manner: Each
research presentation was followed by (1) two practitioner-discussants
who responded to the presentation, and (2) group discussions
among participants who explored the topic from their
perspectives as practitioners, policy makers, and researchers.
Participants, in small groups, brainstormed the implications
for policy, practice, and research, and recorded the
implications on response cards. The responses have been
summarized for each session. To view the summary of
responses, click on the title of the presentation below:
