The Higher Education Institute for Teacher Preparation in Adult Education was established to provide leaders to teacher training programs in the western United States with the knowledge and skills necessary to organize and conduct teacher training programs in Adult Education. From August through October 1971 qualified instructors from 41 institutions participated in the Institute; they then offered follow-up programs at local workshops, consortiums, and inservice training programs. The 1972 workshop was attended by State directors of adult education as well as participants from colleges and universities. These participants established new adult education training program at their institutions. Appendices include Institute programs and rosters. (Author/RS)
