A federally funded demonstration project in adult basic education is presented. The project's proposal set forth the development of demonstration adult basic education learning centers within the central cities area of the cities of Camden and Newark, New Jersey. During 22 months of operation on a demonstration basis, each center developed administrative and instructional patterns to serve the community life patterns within the community in which it was located. Program objectives served as guideposts for each center to: (1) motivate the undereducated adult of the core urban area, and (2) provide a program integrating innovative methods, materials, and programs of learning. The appendices present job descriptions, evaluation of selected materials, case-study diagnosis and prescription planning and forms. (CK)
