> Tennessee ESOl in the Workplace: A Training Manual for ESOL Supervisors
has been published by the TN Dept of Labor and Workforce Development Office
of Adult Education and the University of Tennessee Center for Literacy
Studies. It has four modules: Knowing and presenting your adult education
program to business and industry, knowing your community's needs and
understanding the workplace, designing a plan to deliver and sustain
services, and knowing your results by monitoring and evaluating progress.
Lots of tools and surveys are appended. It's in a binder so you can pull out
the parts you want to use
