This document is the staff development manual that was developed to train worker education facilitators involved in the Chicago Teachers' Center of Northeastern Illinois University and Amalgamated Clothing and Textile Workers Union Worker Education Program (WEP). The document begins with an overview of the WEP, which uses workers' life and workplace experiences as starting points to help limited English-proficient workers develop job-specific workplace English-as-a-second language (ESL) and mathematics skills and help all workers develop the communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and basic skills required to keep pace with changing workplace requirements, technology, products, and processes. Discussed in the manual's remaining sections are the following topics: building support and structure for the training program; conducting task analysis and assessing company and union needs; identifying and assessing students; developing curriculum; implementing classes and workshops; providing staff development; and conducting ongoing program evaluation. Appendixes constituting approximately 80% of the document contain the following: training needs/company commitment survey; literacy task analysis; materials for ESL curriculum development; curriculum goals; basic skills tests; miscellaneous blank and sample completed forms used in curriculum development; worker and union program evaluation forms; general work-based assessment and instructions for administering it; and learner enrollment form.
