*Transportation; Workbooks

This workbook focuses on two primary needs of adult basic education (ABE) students--child care and transportation--and prov;des ideas to assist program administrators (especially in Texas) to develop appropriate, workable, community-based strategies to meet these needs. The book contains five chapters. Each chapter addresses a particWar aspect of providing these services: surveying needs, identifying barriers, defining strategies, developing interagency coordination, and putting it all together in an appr^priate, workable, community-based plan. At the end of each chapter, a worksheet is provided for completing suggested tasks. Readers are encouraged to use the worksheets to address needs, barriers, and strategies that reflect the local ABE program. This learn-by-doing approach is designed to result in an implementation plan, unique to the local program, that addresses the provision of support services to ABE students. Appendixes to the workbook contain survey forms, a list of resources/contact people in Texas and other states, a sample local agreement, and references.
