B.OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECTLiteracy and related job skills have been enhanced through the partnership of the PrinceGeorge's County Public Schools (PGCPS) and the Prince George's Private IndustryCouncil (PIC). The School System's Adult Basic Education (ABE) personnel workedcooperatively with the PIC to identify businesses in need of literacy and basic skillsservices. Identified employers assigned a representative to cooperate with the workplaceliteracy facilitator to focus on the needs of participants at each worksite. (See table ofworksites for contact person)C.GENERAL OPERATIONSAt the onset, the contact person, facilitator and teacher toured the organization, notedskills required to complete job tasks and gathered materials from the site that were partof the day to day job.After the students were recruited by a meeting, bulletin, supervisor, or friend, a time andplace were set for the project facilitator and the students to meet for pre-testing anddiscussion of student objectives. A teacher was always present to meet the students andto offer encouragement.The pre-testing was the determining factor in the selection of materials and the need togroup the classes into different levels. Other factors important in these groupingdecisions were the number of students interested in the class, the hours that facilities forclsses would be available, and whether the classes would be held before, during, or afterwork hours.The teacher, the facilitator, the worksite representative and the students discussedemployee-specific skills that the students should learn by the end of a class session. Eachemployer was given a CASAS Workplace Literacy Draft to indicate items to be taught.Many employers did not care to be worksite-specific with the materials. Some stressedthat it was more than sufficient for the student to learn how to 'earn, and especially to learnhow to read and to communicate orally and in writing. The teachers and the projectfacilitator made every effort to seek out worksite-specific materials. Each site compileda binder of materials used. The job task and CASAS objective was noted for each entry.(See samples for each workplace site)In order to prepare for teaching skills which would enhance work skills, the teachersshadowed some employees on the job. The classes were frequently composed of peoplewith different responsibilities, and the teacher also relied upon obtaining a general ideaof the purpose of the organization and trying to understand each individual's work.National Workplace Literacy Program

The teachers had constant access to the materials used by the Prince George's CountyAdult Basic Education Program, and they used any materials they felt would beappropriate for any individual. In addition, not all worksites provided copier access, sothe teachers duplicated job-specific materials at Bladensburg Instructional ServicesCenter.The classes initially ran for forty hours. Class attendance records were maintained byeach teacher. During each forty hour session the class was frequently visited by theproject facilitator who would help and encourage employees, advise the teacher on othermaterials and strategies which might be used, and monitor the attendance of the students.The project facilitator would communicate with the worksite representative and discussthe progress of the students, or any logistical problems which might be occurring. Manyteachers also had contact with the worksite representatives and problems with schedulingwere often solved by the teacher or by members of the classes.The counselors visited each worksite regularly, first making a presentation of theresources available to each student, and then providing each student with a referral card.Counselors also spoke to all appropriate classes about applying for the GED exam and thescoring of that exam.At the end of the first forty hours of class, a decision was made as to whether the classesat each worksite would continue with a second forty hour class. The decision was madewith the consideration of many factors. Some classes were not continued because thestudents had reached the goals they had desired or because they did not maintainadequate attendance to make the class effective. The reasons are further discussed in theindividual summaries. Most classes were full, enthusiastic and ready to continue learning.The students were re-registered, and new students invited to join. These classescontinued to be monitored by the project facilitator and each developed a specialcharacter and identity based upon the needs of the students.All basic skills classes were again CASAS tested to determine competencies acquired.Each ESL class was pre and post tested either by a Maryland State approved test or by atest uniquely designed for the site.Upon completion of each class, the teachers and the counselor discussed locations ofnearby Adult Basic Education programs or the prospects of the employer continuing theclasses at employer expense. As of this printing both Prince George's County Board ofEducation Maintenance Yard and Laurel Race Course have contracted for classes.National Workplace Literacy Program

At the end of each forty hour session, the students were surveyed. The results of thesesurveys helped to improve on-going classes. In addition to this in-class survey, teacherswere asked to call students several weeks after the last class. The teachers used thisopportunity to check on the accomplishments of students and to encourage students toseek additional educational experience.The program was also continuously evaluated by an outside evaluator.D.PERSONNELThe fourteen teachers, the project director, the project counselor and the project facilitatorhave worked for many years in the Adult Basic Education Program of Prince George'sCounty Public Schools. The program has provided many training sessions for itspersonnel. In addition to on-going contact with other personnel in the Adult Educationprogram (many currently teach together at different ABE locations), the staff had teammeetings with other teachers at the same worksite, with other teachers of classes at thesame level, with the counselor, with the Adult Education Supervisor, with the ABEResource Teacher, and with the ABE Resource Assistant. These meetings offered theopportunity to discuss job-specific materials, published materials, and teaching strategies.None of the teachers was isolated at the worksite, as there were frequent visits by thefacilitator, the counselors and frequent opportunities for teacher meetings. Thesemeetings were held at the worksite or at the Bladensburg Instructional Center. Allpersonnel were invited to attend the MAACCE conference in Annapolis, Maryland.Workplace literacy was the focus of the conference.National Workplace Literacy Program

American Pest Managementii g:Cafeteria and openloading area of American Pest Management's, NewHamsphire Avenue Branch Office, Takoma Park, MD.Instructors:Betty SonneveldtMary Ellen ButlakTime:VolunteerClass 1 & 2 - January 7, 1992 March 24, 1992Class 3 - March 26, 1992 - April 28, 1992Tuesday and Thursday4:30 6:30 PMStudent:Male employees whose primary task is the chemical extermination of insects.Instructor Summary:American Pest Management is a small pest control firm in Prince George's County. It employsIIIapproximately forty people, thirty of whom are pest control technicians. Most technicianshave a monthly route but still need to interpret a work order, read a map, locate a site,administer pesticides and write a follow-up recommendation. In order to determine theamount, concentration and spraying time of an pesticide, it is imperative that they can calculatearea and volume and use proportion. Two of the technicians treat homes for termite infestationand need to be able to interpret floorplans and blueprints.It became evident that help was needed when most of the technicians did poorly on the mathtest for Pest Control Technicians that was administered by American Pest Management.Concern was further heightened when it was rumored that all technicians would need to becertified by passing an exam in the near future.Classes were held from 4:30 to 6:30 P.M. after work. No work release time was given.Refreshments were provided by the management. One group met in the "cafeteria" while theother group met in an open area where the daily work orders were delivered.The CASAS Placement and Pre-tests were administered and the general scores were low. Wewere able to form two groups; one with a skill level at 0-4 grade level and the other with a skilllevel of grade 4 and up.One teacher taught Language Arts while the other teacher taught Math. This was ideal andhelped eliminate the "low group" - "high group" stigma. After fifty minutes the groupsswitched rooms and teachers.National Workplace Literacy Program

The "lower level" group progressed through basic addition, subtraction, multiplication anddivision of whole numbers. Emphasis was put on interpreting maps, graphs and charts, anddetermining perimeter, area and volume.The "upper level" group progressed through decimals, fractions, and percents. Emphasis wasalso put on interpreting maps, graphs and charts, ratio and proportion and determiningperimeter, area, and volume of polygons.In Language Arts the "lower level" group concentrated on reading, writing and spelling skillsusing work-orders, blue prints, and wall charts with the end goal of producing better writtenwork reports. Improvement was noted by the employer when work orders were received.The "upper level" group concentrated on improving reading comprehension and writing skillsusing the Preparing For Applicator Certification: Volume 1 as curriculum.Because of students' staggered entrance times, there was a great need for the students to beflexible and to work as independently as possible.Classes ran for fifteen weeks giving each student sixty instructional hours. Classes were endedat the end of April because employees were into their "busy season." It was an extremelysuccessful experience. On the last day a "graduation" party was held with certificates, Pompand Circumstance," refreshments and presents. Many students expressed an interest incontinuing in the fall.National Workplace Literacy Programit.
