Much the same can be said for gathering information on the longer-term impacts of adult basic education. Thinking back, the program I worked with that had the most success gathering "post program" information from students 1) built a strong community within the classroom 2) from the outset explained that they keep in touch with students to learn about jobs they get or additional education they enroll in, and 3) had staff from the community who sometimes made home visits or tapped into an extended network to reconnect with former students. What strategies or techniques have you used to follow up on students that have worked?
