The Focus on Networking project was undertaken to identify significant Adult Education Act Section 353 demonstration projects produced by Pennsylvania project directors and adult basic and literacy education (ABLE) practitioners nationwide and to publish a newsletter to disseminate information about those projects. A panel of 6 literacy experts reviewed 72 special projects funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Bureau of Adult Basic and Literacy Education in fiscal years 1994 and 1995. Also reviewed were 82 out-of-state projects that were selected from among 120 projects recommended by 26 different states. The programs were rated on a 5-point scale in four categories: innovation, effectiveness, adaptability, and final report. The 23 projects rated as exemplary and the 28 that received an honorable mention were featured in 6 issues of a newsletter titled "Focus" that was distributed to Pennsylvania's ABLE programs and others interested in ABLE, including all librarians and legislators in Pennsylvania. The six issues of "Focus" highlighted programs in the following areas: technology; family literacy; English as a second language; curriculum; special populations; and staff development. (All six newsletters are included.) (MN)
