Abstract:
The framework details the knowledge and skills that teachers and administrators need to work effectively with adult English language learners, and on the professional development systems and processes to assist practitioners to acquire them. The three components are: content needed by practitioners; process for planning, implementing, and evaluating the professional development; and the context of the practitioners and the staff development. Appendices provide a diagram of the framework, background on the need for professional development in adult education, and references.
