This handbook documents the comprehensive evaluation and training system that is being used with Indiana's adult basic education programs. It consists of a set of instruments to assess the effectiveness of ABE programs and a series of workshops to train program providers to carry out the evaluation. Two introductory sections contain a guide to the evaluation handbook and a materials list. The guide describes in detail the contents of each of the five major sections that follow. The five major sections are based on the workshops that are used to train program directors in self-evaluation and to train ABE teachers to evaluate their own paired program. Section I contains materials for the preliminary meeting--an outline of Indiana's evaluation model that includes a rationale, a timetable, and an appendix. Section II provides materials for a workshop on program self-evaluation, including a guide for directors and all instruments. Section III contains materials for a workshop on formative and summative evaluation and provides all the materials and methods evaluators will use to gather data. Section IV presents materials for a workshop on writing the formative report and guidelines and form for conducting classroom observations. Section V contains the workshop packet that provides examples of coding learner data and writing a summative report. (YLB)
