copy of the 2009-2010 promotional booklet.
Local program managers are a key player in the delivery of quality adult education and literacy services. Like most of us in the field, they came into this business "sideways" with degrees in everything from political science to home economics. Many of them had limited or no preparation for the complex tasks of leading, planning, implementing, and evaluating adult education services.
That is why the professional development of local program managers is critical to program improvement and the quality of service. And that is why the National Adult Education Professional Development Consortium (NAEPDC) and ProLiteracy have joined forces to develop the Leadership Excellence Academies. Browse through this website to learn how you can get involved in this exciting new professional development opportunity. |
"The Academies provide a wonderful opportunity
where leaders can feel connected with those who share the common goal of improving Adult Education services for members of their
communities."

Our Philosophy
-
We believe that professional development should:
-
Help you to consider new perspectives while being provided tools you can adapt to put ideas into action;
-
Encourage you to take risks and question your assumptions;
-
Provide opportunities for you to practice and apply what you learn;
-
Be based on sound research and professional wisdom; and
-
Be fun and build a sense of community among the participants.
