The Indiana Adult Literacy Initiative Replication Guide.
Samuelson, Judith A.; Faddis, Constance R.
This replication guide describes the Indiana solution to the adult illiteracy problem--the inception of the Indiana Adult Literacy Initiative and the formation of the Indiana Adult Literacy Coalition. These four strategies promoted by the Initiative for developing and implementing programs are cited: volunteerism, public-private sector partnerships, networking among community members and adult education professionals, and instruction. Discussion follows of the social change strategies that possess demonstrated effectiveness and have contributed to the success of the Initiative. They are (1) obtaining support from the highest authority, (2) building a communication and relationship network, (3) obtaining administrative support and developing an administrative structure, (4) developing a comprehensive plan, and (5) disseminating information about products to potential replicators. Thirteen suggestions--what the Indiana Adult Literacy Coalition believes are its "secrets of success"--are then listed. Appendixes, amounting to over one-half of the guide, include profiles of Coalition exemplary programs, 1984; samples of brochures and news coverage of Coalition activities; the Indiana Adult Literacy Initiative 1985-86 Plan; and bibliography of resources.
