VALUE: Adult Learner Involvement Survey

Voice of Adult Learners United to Educate VALUE is updating its research on adult learner involvement throughout the U.S.
If you would like to share information about adult learner involvement in your state or in your local program, please complete the 10-question survey. Some sample questions.

~ state conferences that include students as participants or planners
~ if you have a student group, how is it structured
~ what areas of leadership have students made achievements
~ is there funding for involvement outside the classroom
~ what positions do students hold in programs

The results of this research will be posted in the "In the States" section of the VALUE web site.
