are required to maintain and implement

a Statewide, comprehensive,

programs and activities within the State,

and the Federal government must

provide technical assistance to States to

carry out their Part C responsibilities.

The self study instrument provides

technical guidance to the State, and is

also used for Federal and State

monitoring of the Part C program.

Title: Evaluation of Effective Adult

Basic Education Programs and Practices.

Frequency: Three (3) times per year

(May, September, and December).

Affected Public: Individuals or

households; Not-for-profit institutions;

State, local or Tribal Gov’t, SEAs or

Reporting and Recordkeeping Hour

Burden:

Responses: 78.

Burden Hours: 618.

Abstract: The U.S. Department of

Education has been working with State

Directors of adult education and local

providers to document the learning

gains of adult education participants.

Because little is known about the

effectiveness of adult basic education

(ABE) programs for first-level learners,

this is an exploratory study. Hence, we

are developing measures to describe the

operational and instructional

characteristics of ABE programs and are

testing methods of measuring outcomes.

The programs participating in the study

were selected based on information

collected in previous case studies that

had evidence of good instruction, where

teachers had been trained in a specific

model for delivering adult education

instruction, and where there was

evidence of effective program

operations. Respondents are program

participants who voluntarily enroll in

federally funded adult basic education

classes.
