6 IV, PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES The mission of the San Marcos Public Library is to serve the community as a center for lifelong learning, cultural enrichment and information exchange, Our goals and objectives for the Lifelong Learning Project will help us achieve this mission as it applies to the people of San Marcos for whom English is a second language. Our project goals and objectives also support the purposes of our cooperating agency, the Ten County Adult and Continuing Education Co-Op, as well as other agencies who helped plan the project and wrote letters in support of it. The overall purpose of the Lifelong Learning Project is to provide persons for whom English is a second language with educational services and information which will assist them in making a successful transition into the work force. Specific goals and objectives for FY 1989-90 are: GOAL 11: To continue providing, to improve, and to increase use of library ESL, GED and literacy tutoring services. OBJECTIVE A-I: To improve our rate of student retention and the overall quality of our program by developing a structured system for assessing student needs, abilities and goals, and monitoring student progress, PERFORMANCE MEASURE: In order to more efficiently track a student's progress and the library's ability to meet his or her needs, the Project Coordinator will: 1) Create and maintain an ongoing file on each student. 2) Meet individually with each new student within two weeks of his or her enrollment to jointly assess needs, abilities, and goals, 3) Meet quarterly with each student to jointly assess progress, re-evaluate needs and goals, and provide referrals if appropriate. 4) Summarize the results of this tracking process for our semi-annual evaluation reports to the Texas State Library (TSL). OBJECTIVE A-2: To improve our capacity to serve students by expanding the library's walk-in tutoring hours from 20 to 25 per week. PERFORMANCE MEASURE: The teacher provided by the Ten County Co-Op will oversee the walk-in tutoring program. She will monitor the number of students who attend, the number of tutoring contact hours provided, and the types of tutoring sought during these hours, These statistics will be compared to our performance the previous year and reported the State Library.
