Tennessee ESOl in the Workplace: A Training Manual for ESOL Supervisors has been published by the TN Dept of Labor and Workforce Development Office of Adult Education and the University of Tennessee Center for Literacy Studies. It has four modules: Knowing and presenting your adult education program to business and industry, knowing your community's needs and understanding the workplace, designing a plan to deliver and sustain services, and knowing your results by monitoring and evaluating progress. Lots of tools and surveys are appended. It's in a binder so you can pull out the parts you want to use Is it available outside of Tennessee? Can someone from the state respond?

Parts could be and have been used in other contexts (pre-employment, job skills training, nonunion workplace, for coordinators rather than teachers, etc.). The sections are: Overview gives a broad picture of workplace education, funding sources, and benefits and challenges of work site-based programs. Workplace Needs Analysis covers how to conduct a needs analysis to discover workers' skill needs, issues and interests from point of view of employer, union, and workers Labor-Management Setting explores employer, union and worker goals and concerns for workplace education Classrooms and Curriculum explores worker-centered and contextualized teaching and curriculum development and its benefits and challenges Assessment and Evaluation addresses meaningful assessment of workers' needs and evaluation of workplace eduation's impact on workers, the workplace and the union. The curriculum will be available for distribution in the next few months. Feel free to contact me for more information.
