The objectives of this project were to: (1) demonstrate that when a public school-supported Adult Basic Education (ABE) program receives support from other agencies, the quantity of students and the quality and diversity of instruction are increased, (2) demonstrate to the Kentucky State Department of Adult Education the value of individualized instruction in an ABE learning center, and (3) demonstrate how an advisory committee can help an ABE program. Community leaders, students, consultants, and staff met four times. Problems of curriculum, recruiting, follow-up, further training and public relations were considered and acted upon. The demonstration center was so successful with demonstrating learning labs together with traditional classroom instruction that it was granted an addendum to its original budget by the Kentucky State Department of Education.
