Jimmy: We have a program model to do health literacy with our students. I can talk to you about this, however, I will be out of town until next Monday. My telephone number is (915) 831-4161. If you call me then, I can give you some ideas. Also I have some stuff that you can access on line. the web address is:

I am designing a process evaluation of a new program that is introducing a health education curriculum into ESL classes.

I want to retain the flexibility and creative ability of the instructors, but need to assess how well curriculum modules and lesson plans are followed.

Additionally, I need to design a tool that allows students to give feedback on how well they received the information and how accessable and enjoyable the class was.  These will be students from diverse language backgrounds, with low literacy skills, and limited English proficiency (high beginner CASAS scores).

The ultimate goal of the process evaluation is to detect areas in the curriculum and implementation of the program that could be improved to better facilitate increased health knowledge, practice, and ability to access health care systems.

Thanks for any advice-
