This national survey is intended for educators who work with adults who are enrolled in literacy, upgrading, and workplace education programs.
This survey takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes to complete.
The findings will be documented in a report and an edited book. Excerpts from written statements may be used in these two publications. In the fall of 2005, you will be able to access the on-line report through the National Adult Literacy Database. In the fall of 2007, you will be able to purchase the book from Grass Roots Press.
In order to protect your identity, personal names and addresses will not be used in any oral or written reports. However, we do require some personal information to determine who has completed the survey. If the survey is not completed, we will send you a friendly reminder by e-mail.
To thank you for participating in this survey, we will enter your name into a draw for one of ten $100.00 gift certificates from Grass Roots Press.
