A project provided training and guidance to Northampton Community College (NCC) staff in implementing the "new" adult learner skill competencies. Two workshops were held to serve 29 staff in Monroe, Wayne, and Pike counties in Pennsylvania. Among the topics covered were defining and introducing portfolios to adult learners, individualizing instruction, accessing resources, relating learning to daily living, the competencies, and teaching in real-life context. The staff members then assisted colleagues on the day-to-day implementation of the competencies. At the initial training, many instructors supported creation of a "lesson plan bank" to include contextual lessons identifying the learner skills competencies. Informational training packets were created for those workshops, and a lesson plan "mini-bank" of lessons identifying the competencies was established. A separate manual is provided that includes the informational training packets for the workshops and the lesson plan bank. Materials for Workshop 1 include definition and contents of portfolio; pictorial learning styles inventory; NCC learner needs assessment, and monthly learning evaluation; MELT competencies for English as a second language; writing products; and individualized instruction. Materials for Workshop 2 include a portfolio activity and an identifying competencies within lessons activity. The manual also includes a 36-page adult learner competencies lesson plan bank.
