The following two requests were submitted by Sara Mansbach in my pre-Christmas solicitation of ideas and suggestions for discussions on the Family Literacy Discussion List. Since they both had to do with evaluation, I am posting them together. However, in your response please indicate which item you are responding to as your suggestions may not be the same for both.

 

Evaluation of outcomes is an important part of any literacy program and certainly one that we need to continue building and strengthening in adult education. I am sure not only Sara, but the entire List would be glad to here your thoughts on these two requests.

 

Again, on behalf of Sara Mansbach, I submit the following for your consideration.

 

I would be interested in learning more about:

1.	Evaluating the outcomes of less intense family literacy programs where parents may be seen from one month to the next for only ½  an hour at a time, again with newborns to 4 year old children who are not very verbal and where formal evaluation measures can not be employed. 

 

2.	Evaluating the impact of short term intense workshops on teen mothers over a 6 weeks period of time
