This seminar guide was created by the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL) to assist program administrators in accessing, understanding, judging, and using research for themselves and for their staff. Professional developers may want to use this seminar in place of a regularly scheduled meeting, such as a statewide training. By the end of the seminar, participants will be able to: (1) Discuss their own attitudes and those of their staff about research and its connection to practice; (2) Outline the major findings and implications of a NCSALL research study; (3) Utilize the "Program Administrators' Sourcebook" to address issues/problems and/or responsibilities in their programs; and (4) Plan for the implementation and monitoring of evidence-based practices in their own programs. (Contains 3 footnotes.) [This guide was funded by the Educational Research and Development Centers program.]
