    Please Note Our Focus

    New Mexico's Adult Education vision for professional learning is to provide relevant, high-quality professional learning grounded in current research and best practices. Professional learning is also transformative, collaborative, and effective.

    Research shows that active participation is highly effective for learning. Therefore, you will be asked to describe how your proposal will involve participants in engaging activities that encourage critical thinking and relevant problem solving. Should you need any assistance with this, you may contact any member of the Propel Team or contact Tina Hite, Propel Director, at tina@nmdelt.org or 505-916-1252, and she will connect you with someone who can support you.
