Hello everyone,

My name is Holly Fadden and I am re-joining this list.  I am the ESL
Specialist in Adult Education for the Maryland State Department of
Education.  We are preparing a new state plan base on the new Adult
Education and Family Literacy Act, which is part of the Workforce
Investment Act 1998.

One of the issues I am investigating is improving employment conditions
in adult ESL programs.  I would like to know if anyone can provide
information regarding full-time instructors and ESL coordinators. Is
there any research or data that indicate how many full-time instructors
there should be based on number of learners enrolled in a program?  Any
information that would help me justify full-time instructor-learner
ratios.  Also, when would it be appropriate to justify a full-time ESL
coordinator?  I am particularly interested in any research or data on
this topic.

I would be grateful for any help on this topic.

Holly Fadden
