Dear Colleagues:

I would like to welcome Ms. Esmerelda Doreste as our guest on the "Program 
Leadership and Improvement Discussion List" this week.

Ms. Doreste is currently the Program Director of the Union City Adult 
Learning Center. The Center was established in 1983 to generate, share, and 
act on knowledge that improves conditions and outcomes in the Hispanic 
community, particularly in urban areas and in schools serving disadvantaged 
students. The Union City Adult Learning Center has a mission of work 
through: Leadership, Opportunity and Accountability, District Redesign, and 
Community-Centered Education Reform. In each of these areas, the Union City 
Adult Learning Center conducts applied research, develops lessons and 
creates various classes to meet the needs of our adult population,

Ms. Doreste also serves on an advisory group that meets with numerous 
education reform organizations including  the Hudson County Workforce 
Investment Board, the Jersey City Urban League and the Jersey City 
Workforce Investment Board.

To read Ms. Doreste's narrative about her center's experience with program 
improvement, go to the "Program Leadership and Improvement" Special 
Collection web site [http://pli.cls.utk.edu] and click the "Stories of 
Program Improvement" button on the home page.  (Her's is Story #4.)

Please feel free to post comments or questions to Ms. Doreste directly to
