We have developed a teacher training curriculum geared toward ABE and ESOL 
teachers who will be teaching in a labor-management program at the workplace 
(i.e. a unionized workplace).  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.
