TRAINING MATERIALS, DEVELOPED FOR THE 1967 SUMMER INSTITUTES FOR ADMINISTRATORS OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS, ARE PRESENTED IN TWO PARTS--(1) CASE STUDIES DEVELOPED AROUND EVENTS COMMONLY OCCURRING IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS, AND (2) PROGRAM GUIDELINES MEANT TO SUGGEST APPROACHES TO HANDLING SPECIFIC SITUATIONS. THROUGH ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION OF THE CASE STUDIES, PARTICIPANTS IN ADMINISTRATIVE INSTITUTES CAN ARRIVE DEDUCTIVELY AT GUIDELINES OF THEIR OWN THAT ARE APPLICABLE TO THEIR PROGRAM AND COMMUNITIES. DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PREEXISTING GUIDELINES MAY ASSIST PARTICIPANTS IN COMPARING THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES WITH COMMONLY ACCEPTED PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATIVE PRACTICE. CASE STUDY TOPICS ARE--BRINGING ABOUT A CHANGE IN A HIERARCHY, EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY, INTERAGENCY COOPERATION, AND COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL PLANNING. GUIDELINES ARE--THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADVISORY COUNCIL, THE EFFECTIVE ADMINISTRATION OF ADULT BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS, THE USE OF PARAPROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL, AND THE USE OF COMMUNITY RESOURCES. (AJ)
