FOREWORD
Each year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education's Bureau of Adult Basic andLiteracy Education awards grants to public and_private educational agencies and organiza-tions for the development of special projects. The grants, known as Special Projects, arefunded through Section 353 of the Federal Adult Education Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-297).This section mandates that the Department of Education use not less than 10 percent ofits annual federal allotment under the Act for special everimental demonstration, stafftraining and small grant projects. For fiscal year 1991-92, a total of $1,278,171 has beenallocated to 86 Section 353 grantees.
These grants are used in Pennsylvania to strengthen the Adult Basic EducationProgram through experimentation with new methods, programs and techniques. In addi-tion, funds are used to provide staff development for personnel working in progams. In-formation about projects is disseminated statewide to encourage the adoption/adaptationof successful practices. Thus, the impact of the funding is extended.
This year's projects address varied priorities directly related to Adult Basic Edu-cation (grade levels 0-8) instruction, General Educational Development (Fade levels9-12) preparation and English as a Second Language as defined in the Adult EducationAct. They also focus to a large extent on Family Literacy and Workforce Education.
Upon completion, all of the projects described in this booklet will be submitted tothe Pennsylvania Department of Education and housed at AdvancE, Pennsylvania'sclearinghouse for adult education. In the fall of 1992, copies of all fmal reports andproducts will be available for loan by contacting AdvancE at the following address:
