The purpose of the handbook is to serve as a guide and tool for instructors of adults. It uses a "learn-by-doing" approach and briefly covers the topics of preparation, plans, instruction tools, students, practice, methods and techniques, individualized instruction, speaking, and evaluation. Tests (performance, observation, oral, paper and pencil, and objective) are outlined along with comments on feedback and instructor development. Three appendixes provide a checklist for instructors, an abbreviated lesson plan form, and reading resources. (NH)
