Resources

Directions for the PDK website registration process

PDK is a wonderful resource rich with ideas specifically designed for the Adult Education classroom. The Knowledge Databases contains information about conducting an inquiry into an Adult Ed classroom based on studies that have already been concluded. The topic investigations provided many of our participants with ideas for forming their own questions about their classrooms.
