The set of materials presented here are curriculum materials from a workplace literacy and basic skills program, funded largely through the U.S. Department of Education and operated by a food and beverage workers' local union. The program offered instruction from 1990-94 in basic skills, General Education Development (GED), workplace communication, and English as a Second Language (ESL) to food service workers in Washington, D.C. The curricular materials include descriptions of all classes, individual learning plan forms that enumerate competencies for basic skills and pre-GED classes, forms for performance-based assessment used with basic skills and ESL classes, a questionnaire for workers' communication skills focus groups, the corresponding questionnaire for the managers' focus group, a list of competencies for the workplace communication classes, the individual learning plan form for ESL, and three pages from the ESL curriculum.
