A 310 Project was conducted at North Iowa Community College to improve basic skills instruction for adult college students. The project involved these goals and objectives: (1) staff development for instructors of the basic skills curricula; (2) generating enthusiasm for basic skills instruction in the underprepared student; (3) assessment of student progress through staff development activities; (4) enhanced public relations for the program; and (5) effective administration of the basic skills program based on training of staff and use of resources. To meet these goals, various activities were carried out from July 1985 to June 1986. For example, student progress was assessed in relationship to staff development training, a public relations plan was developed, and a staff development program was implemented through workshops for teachers. Efforts were evaluated and results were disseminated both in the college and in the community. (This report contains a step-by-step explanation of the process of the project to improve basic skills through staff development. About half of the document consists of a basic skills curriculum and handouts from the inservice staff development activities.) (KC)
