If you administer an adult education program, you face a wide variety of challenges:

*         How can you help students make "level" gains?

*         How can you help students gain the skills they need to reach their goals?

*         How can you help students stay in programs long enough to meet their goals?

*         How can you prepare and retain good teachers?

*         How can you document the successes of your program?

 

The National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and Literacy (NCSALL) conducted research relevant to these questions. The Program Administrators’ Sourcebook (December 2005) is designed to give you, as a program administrator, direct access to research that may help you address the challenges you face in your job.

 

Written by Jackie Taylor, Cristine Smith, and Beth Bingman in collaboration with five local program administrators, this sourcebook presents NCSALL’s research findings in short sections related to key challenges that program administrators face in their work as managers of adult education programs. It also presents the implications of these research findings for program structure and services, as well as some strategies for implementing change based on these implications.
