The American Educational Research Association (AERA) has awarded The Adult Literacy and Adult Education Award for an Outstanding Paper by an Early Career Scholar to Marguerite Lukes, Project associate of Spanish Bilingual Education Technical Assistance Center (SBETAC).

Established to honor the professional commitment and accomplishments of early career scholars (graduate students or recent graduates), the award also aids in the Adult Literacy and Adult Education SIG's goal in supporting and mentoring promising new scholars working in the field of adult education research.

The award acknowledges scholarly work that exemplifies high-quality research, written expression, innovation and contributions to the field of adult literacy/adult education.

Marguerite will present her paper at the ALAE SIG for the 2009 AERA Annual Meeting.
