Abstract

Field experience reports are provided for exemplary adult education programs in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia which were each visited by an adult education administrator from another of the programs. Each report overviews the program, makes observations on unique aspects of the program (such as programs, services, participants, program effectiveness, funding), and provides conclusions regarding valuable adult education concepts, strategies, and techniques practiced by the program as well as recommendations for adaptation to other programs. These programs are included: Literacy Volunteers of Connecticut; Connecticut Adult Basic Education (ABE) Staff Development Project; New Haven ABE Program; Upper Montclair, New Jersey; West New York Adult Learning Center; Dutchess County Area Occupational Education; Niagara Falls Learning Center; Canton City Schools; Columbus City Schools; Middletown City Schools; Warren City Schools; Southeastern Ohio ABE Program; Pleasant Gap (Pennsylvania) Development Center for Adults; Harrisburg State Hospital; Caroline County (Virginia) ABE Program; Virginia Adult Learning Center; and Fairfax County ABE Program. The Program Background Information Summary Form and Host/Visitor Evaluation Form are appended. (YLB)
