The paper is titled ADULT EDUCATION & LITERACY IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN MASSACHUSETTS: A Case Study. This 62-page is the first of four statewide case studies commissioned by CAAL for its task force study of the role and potential of community colleges in adult education and literacy. The study is by Martin Liebowitz, former program director at Jobs for the Future. It examines the role of community colleges in providing adult education services (ABE, ESL, and GED) in Massachusetts and the statewide context in which the services are provided. (Other case studies are nearing completion on Illinois, Kentucky, and Oregon). The Massachusetts study is presented in five broad sections: (1) state governance of adult education and community colleges, and the context for adult education in Massachusetts; (2) demographics, goals, and performance measures in terms of students served, outcomes, and how services are delivered; (3) how adult education is managed within community colleges; (4) links and transitions within community colleges and between the colleges and the rest of the adult education system; and (5) summary and key findings. The paper is the second in a series of working papers issued by CAAL. It is designed to inform the deliberations of the task force guiding CAAL's study. Persons interested in the paper will find it in pdf format at the CAAL web site at http://www.caalusa.org -- (item 3 in the left column of the home page).
