Adams, Patricia; And Others
This document describes a demonstration pilot project that brought Washington's North Seattle Community College (NSCC) instructors together with the staff training office of the City of Seattle. With a 310 grant, the NSCC Adult Education Division offered a successful basic skills course on-site for City of Seattle employees. The procedural guide included in this document shows the steps NSCC adult education instructors took to identify and assess trainees' skill levels, to learn supervisory expectations of the training, to familiarize themselves with reading and writing tasks and materials the trainees have to use on the job, and to compile lists of competencies identified by supervisors and teachers. The guide also shows steps taken to recruit, market, test, and evaluate the program. The second part of this document is a competency-based program of instruction in basic skills that includes the syllabus, pretests and posttests, assignments, lesson plans, competencies, and job-related materials for the reading and writing and test-taking class at the City of Seattle. The final product included in this project is a marketing brochure that the Adult Education Division will use with other companies and agencies to promote in-house training in basic skills. (KC)
