The topic of adult learners in the Pacific has been overlooked in educational research. To fill this void, faculty at Palau Community College conducted a survey of adult learners. This briefing paper examines the results of this survey and offers suggestions about how to better accomodate and understand these nontraditional students.

This Research Brief focuses on the methodology used to measure professional development (PD) effectiveness. It examines the needs that generated this research, what PREL did to meet those needs, and lessons that have been learned as a result. In particular, it discusses the development of a new instrument designed to measure the quality of PD as it is being delivered. Available online and in print.
