This document, which was developed for participants in a videoconference examining a new approach to adult numeracy instruction, contains information and resources to help literacy trainers improve their numeracy programs. Presented first are the following: 12 instructional goals/principles that are based on the premise that numeracy educators must not simply teach computation but must also consider cognitive and dispositional goals; suggestions for staff developers and program administrators; and 8 classroom activities demonstrating the proposed 4-phase instructional approach (building on informal math, supporting sense making, developing interpretive skills, using integrated tasks). The second section includes brief discussions of selected recent initiatives to improve mathematics education (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics initiatives and standards, the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills, a recent working conference on adult mathematical literacy, and the adult numeracy practitioner network) and a 22-item annotated bibliography of resource materials for/about adult numeracy. Section 3 explains how to join the Internet's electronic numeracy forum, describes key electronic forums/databases concerned with adult numeracy and literacy issues, and provides technical information regarding accessing electronic adult numeracy resources. Appended is a math problem illustrating the proposed approach to numeracy instruction. (MN)
