This manual describes three instruments that can be used to inventory elements related to adult education and career development: (1) the Adult Education Program Survey, which is designed to examine the concerns of adult learners in the community regarding their prospective participation in adult education; (2) the Inventory of Community Resources, which is directed toward identifying potential instructors and support personnel in the community; and (3) the Inventory of Staff Resources, which is designed to identify staff capabilities that can be used in a career guidance capacity. This manual explains how to administer each instrument and suggests ways to interpret the data obtained. The survey instruments are appended. Other related documents contain the administration manuals for the following: the Life Career Development Needs Survey for elementary students (CE 019 697), secondary students (CE 019 698), and adults (CE 019 699); and guidance program assessment instruments for elementary schools (CE 019 694), secondary schools (CE 019 695), and postsecondary and adult programs (CE 019 696). These assessment instruments are related to a comprehensive career guidance model developed by the Georgia State Department of Education. (See ERIC document ED 160 850 for a detailed description of the elementary and secondary career guidance model; CE 019 692 describes the model for postsecondary and adult programs.) (BM)
