Workplace Education Program (WEP) Emily Griffith Opportunity School Final Report.
Denver Public Schools, CO.
The Workplace Education Program (WEP) was a literacy partnership between Emily Griffith Opportunity School and 5 business partners at 11 sites in Denver, Colorado. All of the business partners were in the health care sector. A total of 907 individuals were served during the project grant period. Of those individuals, 226 attended supplementary workshops and the 681 attended modular and long- or short-term classes in one of the following topics: English as a second language (ESL) and ESL/math, writing skills, basic skills enhancement/General Educational Development (GED) Test preparation, vocabulary for health care personnel, and communications. Of the 681 course enrollees, 575 completed their courses. The workshops, which lasted from 4-8 hours each depending on the needs of the specific audience, dealt with learning to learn and were generally offered to departments at the individual project sites before other program instruction or in conjunction with the project classes. (Appendixes constituting approximately 90% of this document include the following: activity time line and abstract; numbers/characteristics of participants by site; final evaluation report; sample assessments, pre- and post-tests, and class evaluations; program evaluation forms; lists of courses taught/curricula developed; and resumes of key personnel.)
