ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The Adult Education Resource Guide and Learning Standards was developed utilizing the skills and expertise of adult educators around the State. Teachers, counselors, and program administrators were chosen from a list of volunteers and assigned to four different committees:

  • communications
  • mathematics
  • English for speakers of other languages (ESOL)
  • General Education Development test (GED)

The charge to the committees was to develop a series of intended learning outcomes or curriculum for each of the four areas. The authors would like to express their appreciation to those individuals who contributed to the curriculum development, namely:

In January 1997, a draft of the resource guide and learning standards was distributed to 72 adult education organizations throughout the State. Hundreds of adult education practitioners reviewed and discussed the document. Program directors collected comments and provided 132 pages of thoughtful, high quality, and detailed suggestions. The Guide was also presented to adult educators at the 1997 New York Association for Continuing Community Education (NYACCE) Conference in Huntington, New York. It is impossible to name the hundreds of reviewers in the field. However, each suggestion is very much appreciated.
