E2A Tool Kit: Tips for Developing Great Evidence to Action (E2A) Products
Posted on
This tool kit is designed to help research teams plan for and develop effective evidence-to-action researchproducts. Although useful for a wider audience, the tool kit was written for research contractors who work for the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and for DOL staff who review and provide guidance on research contracts. This guide can help research contractors reach and influence practitioner audiences (referred to in the toolkit as users). This toolkit will help DOL contractors and DOL:
brainstorm options for evidence products and services,
devise effective dissemination strategies,
share expectations on what DOL wants from evidence products and services,
build contractor and staff capacity to deliver products and services that lend themselves to E2A, and
conduct quality assurance reviews to assess whether they are E2A-ready.

Creating New Trajectories for Adult Education - The word trajectory has several meanings. In general terms, a trajectory is the path of an object through space, or through the path of life a person chooses. In geometry a trajectory is a curve or surface that cuts through all other curves or surfaces of a given system at a constant angle. Just as the word has several meanings, the theme of “Creating new trajectories for adult education” could have multiple for conference attendees. The most obvious application is that education changes the path of an adult student. Education changes the lives of our adult students in many ways – and from many different angles – thus impacting both the individual and their family system.
