"The Literacy Information and Communication System (LINCS) is a national leadership initiative of the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Career, Technical, and Adult Education (OCTAE) to expand evidence-based practice in the field of adult education". I highly recommend you explore the LINCS resource archive here: https://lincs.ed.gov/ Also, LINCS PD Guides share evidence-based professional development learning opportunities available across the LINCS site, including the Community, Courses, the Resource Collection, State Resources, Federal Initiatives, and the Learner Center. Instructors, Program Administrators, Professional Developers, State Staff, and more will appreciate the curated content as a starting point for their LINCS professional development journey".

"Clarity isn't about knowing what you want to do with your life, it's about knowing what you want to do this week. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to know your next step." - James Clear |
