Some of our past and current research work indicates that individualized group instruction is the predominate form of instruction in ABE classes. For this reason, we want to find out as much about individualized group instruction as we can. Specifically, we want to understand how individualized group instruction developed in adult literacy and what the experience of literacy professionals' has been with it. We are defining individualized group instruction as follows: Individualized Instruction is conducted in ABE or GED classes where students who are supported by teachers meet regularly to work independently on assignments. The process typically begins with tested diagnosis designed to determine skill level in reading, writing and math. With the help of teachers, learners progress through skill levels as defined and measured by the increasing difficulty of the materials. If you were a policy maker, program administrator or teacher at the time when individualized group instruction was adopted as an instructional system, or if you have had substantial experience with individualized group instruction, would you share your experience with us during a phone conversation that will last no longer than 1/2 hour? If the answer is yes, please reply to this message or email Christine Bradley-Rodriguez at bradleyc@eden.rutgers.edu and we will contact you. Many thanks, Christine A.
