This worksheet is intended to assist adult basic education teachers in organizing personal learning projects. Based on the learning approach advocated by Malcolm Knowles and a teacher training model developed through Project ACT, the worksheet includes information on the attributes of good teachers and development of a contract for self-directed learning. The following five major attributes of successful teachers are discussed: knowledge of adults as learners, knowledge of adult education principles, knowledge of content, knowledge of self, and display of critical helper behaviors. The second section describes a procedure for developing a self-directed learning plan calling for (1) assessing oneself in comparison with the aforementioned ideal attributes, (2) outlining a personal plan for making desired changes, (3) implementing the plan, and (4) periodically evaluating individual progress and modifying the learning plan accordingly. A sample check sheet for use in assessing personal attributes and developing an appropriate self-improvement plan concludes the document. (MN)
