Description¶

The project produced modified task analysis charts (Figure 2) detailing activities performed by ABE teachers and the specific and generic knowledge/skills each requires. Charts cover testing and placement, diagnosing student work, curriculum and materials development, information gathering, audio-visual equipment operation, delivering instruction, and counseling and follow-up. For example, under testing, a teacher "Selects test materials suitable for an adult population from classroom texts, current media, job related materials, common life experiences."
