This document, which was developed for the orientation component of the adult education program at New River Community College in Virginia, contains lessons, forms, and other materials intended to assist teachers looking for orientation ideas that are clear, attractive, and easy to use and that integrate the goals of Virginia's Equipped for the Future (EFF) initiative. The document begins with background information about the EFF orientation project. Presented next are a form for submitting activities and a biographical sketch outline to be used in gathering biographical data from article authors who attended the project's year-end staff meeting. The remainder of the document consists of the following materials: (1) lifelong learning goals questionnaire; (2) handout detailing a writing assignment to allow students to state their expectations and needs while demonstrating creative thinking and their writing ability; (3) activity requiring project learners to develop personal learning plans; (4) activity designed to help use item analysis to identify their skill gaps; (5) activity allowing students to use item analysis to set short-term goals; (6) adult basic education student personal goals checklist; (7) activities to help learners develop project plans (an individual learning plan, a project plan, and a personal learning plan); and (8) orientation checklist.
