7 OBJECTIVE A-3: To continue offering an alternative to our walk-in hours by training at least thirty new volunteers to tutor adults on a one-to-one basis. PERFORMANCE MEASURE: The Project Coordinator will hold at least one ESL and one literacy tutor training workshop during the project year, He will report the number of volunteers who successfully complete the sessions as part of our semi-annual evaluation report to TSL. He will also train volunteers to maintain statistics on the number of hours of tutoring they provide to their students, These statistics will be compiled by the Project Coordinator, compared to our performance the previous year, and reported to the state Library semi-annually, OBJECTIVE A-4: To improve our ability to provide GED tutoring by sponsoring a workshop which will focus on the special problems which ESL students encounter when preparing for the GED examination. Professional educators will be enlisted to assist with this workshop on a volunteer basis. PERFORMANCE MEASURE: The Project Coordinator will plan and administer the GED tutor training workshop by no later than February 1990, The Coordinator will summarize the proceedings of the GED workshop and report the number of volunteers who completed this training to the state Library, OBJECTIVE A-5: To supplement the tutorial program by providing students with access to computer assisted instruction in adult basic education, literacy and ESL. This form of instruction will encourage independent learning while helping students develop computer literacy skills. PERFORMANCE MEASURE: The Project Coordinator will research and evaluate relevant software in order to purchase those he considers most effective in accordance with the LSCA project budget by October 1989. Information about software purchases will be part of the semi-annual evaluation report to the TSL. Statistics on use of tutoring software will also be included in the report. These will be gathered through a system, which is already in place, for tracking use of the library's public access computer and software. GOAL B: To establish a Job Information Center within the library to help clients of the Lifelong Learning Project to explore career options, develop job search skills, write resumes, and obtain information about vocational training and related employment services.
