- Summary:
-
The University of Chicago's Teacher Training Conference provided for an examination of opinion and research from the field of adult basic education; practice in skill development and application; an experience of an urban community; and encounters which centered on personal, political, and educational ideology. This report describes the planning of the conference, the conference itself, and post-conference activities. An analysis of evaluation data is presented as is a general appraisal of the conference. Implications specific to conference planning are discussed under the following topics: recruitment, conference planning, formative evaluation, and interconference communication. It is concluded that the Chicago conference was a useful learning experience for most participants. Also, the Self Directed Learning (SDL) model used proved to be generally effective for most attendees, demonstrating the model's utility for short-term ABE training. Appendixes present the Conference Roster; a Catalog: Adult Basic Education for Urban Clients; Form Letters and Evaluation Instruments; List of Publishers Supporting the Learning Center; Materials and Supplies Given to Conferees; Progress Reports to State Directors; Sample SDL Project; and Conferees' Certificate Award. Thirty-one tables present data. (DB)
