Title:Illinois adult education bridge evaluation: Technical report
Source:http://occrl.illinois.edu/files/Projects/adult_...
Date:2011
Organization:Office of Community College Research and Leadership
Short Description:This report contains the findings and recommendations from an evaluation of the implementation of 10 adult education bridges in targeted industry sectors: healthcare, manufacturing, or transportation, distribution, and logistics.
Annotation:The overarching intent of this evaluation was to generate knowledge that could be used to further develop adult education bridge programs in the state of Illinois. The primary evaluation goals were to describe and assess: • program implementation characteristics; • alignment with Illinois’ bridge definition; • nature and utility of collaboration; • extent and nature of challenges encountered during implementation; and • methods and measures that are or could be utilized to evaluate student outcomes. In addition to these primary goals, a supporting objective was to document emerging and promising implementation practices that could be further developed, studied, and replicated by others.
