Acknowledgments
The Adult Basic Skills Professional Development Manual Teaching Writing: A Tool Kit for Adult Basic Skills Educators was made possible through the collaboration of many individuals who generously shared their expertise from years of teaching writing in adult education. To them we extend our heartfelt gratitude. In addition, we extend our appreciation to the countless educators serving in instruction and training roles across the state.
We thank the North Carolina Community College System for its financial and professional support. We extend thanks to President Martin Lancaster, Dr. Randy Whitfield, Ms. Katie Waters, Ms. Sillar Smith, Mr. Robert Allen, and Ms. Lou Ann Parker for continued contributions to the Adult Basic Skills Professional Development Project.
Without the contributions of the Adult Basic Skills directors, instructors, and trainers this manual would be incomplete. We also appreciate those who graciously took time to review its contents. We extend to each a hardy "Thank You!"
A special thanks goes to Bill, Nathan, Deanna, David, Jackie, and Matthew who worked as a team to write and edit this manual. Without the dedication and skill of these individuals, this manual would not be possible. Thanks Team!
