The CREATE Adult Skills Network is starting its fourth year of operation in Fall 2024. The Network’s job is to help expand the adult skills research base and resources for using, and then facilitate the translation and use of that research in everyday practice. We could not do this without the contributions from each of our six research teams and our Network Partners.
Network Partners volunteer their time and share ideas during Network meetings and workgroup discussions, providing perspectives from directly teaching adult learners, informing and influencing state and national policy, conducting research, and administering programs. They help us think about how to get the word out about CREATE and the ongoing research, what types of research would be helpful to do in the future, how to address challenges that occur when working to test new strategies for adult learning in the field, and how to elevate the focus on Equity in Adult Foundational Education research.
We could not do this work without these individuals and the organizations they represent. THANK YOU to our CREATE Network Partners:
