Dear subscribers:

"Planning for Program Improvement: A Manual for Adult Basic Education 
Programs", a resource produced by System for Adult Basic Education Support 
(SABES), has been added to the Program Leadership and Improvement Special 
Collection.

The manual includes 5 sections: Introduction, Outline of the Planning 
Cycle, Forms and Questionnaires, Scenarios, and Resources.  The original 
version of "Planning for Program Improvement" was developed collaboratively 
in 2002 by a team from the Massachusetts Department of Education, SABES, 
and Massachusetts ABE program Directors.  It was revised in August 2003 
after using it in a variety of training models in Massachusetts with ABE 
program directors and coordinators and after reviewing a number of 
published materials on planning.
