The document presents professional adult basic education staff development plans of States in Region Four (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee). The plans are an attempt to systematically record the educational resources that have been built and the relationships and roles that each resource has assumed, including stable systems built for continuing staff development and dissemination. The State adult basic education staff improvement plans present objectives, rationales, resources, roles and responsibilities of local and university programs, strategies, evaluation procedures for staff development/dissemination plans, dissemination models, delivery systems, and State departments of education functions.
