The American Institutes for Research developed the guide through a contract with the Office of Vocational and Adult Education to operate the content standards warehouse project. A Process Guide for Establishing State Adult Education Content Standards presents the steps for moving toward a fully integrated, standards-based education system to improve instruction and learner outcomes. Readers will find a range of suggestions and references. The guide begins with an introduction to standards-based education and then presents the components of standards-based education reform within the context of adult education programs. Each chapter provides information and examples gathered from research articles, discussions with state adult education staff and standards experts, and reviews of standards documents. Other features of the guide include practice activities, sample tools and templates, a glossary, and additional references to support state teams and initiatives. I hope you will find A Process Guide for Establishing State Adult Education Content Standards to be a useful resource for making decisions related to the implementation of standards-based education reform and improvement.
