This document contains data and characteristics about Adult Education and Family Literacy programs from fiscal year 2005 and is designed to serve as a reference document. The data source for the tables is the Student Administrative Information Reporting System (STAIRS), the approved data collection system for Adult Education and Family Literacy. The parameters for learners to be included in the factbook are a minimum of 7.5 hours of instruction which is the state reporting minimum attendance level. The federal reporting requirements reflect a different threshold of 12 hours of instruction. This publication provides information about students and allocations. All data reflect fiscal year 2005. Table 1, Table 2 and Tables 6 through 14 are based on unduplicated class enrollment in STAIRS. Table 3 is based on duplicated class enrollment in STAIRS, meaning a learner can be counted more than once if enrolled in more than one type of instruction. Tables 4, 5, and 6 are based on pre-test results in STAIRS. Table 15 is based on units of instruction in each type of instructional category in STAIRS. One unit of instruction equals fifteen hours of enrollment. Table 16 is based on Adult Education and Family Literacy state and federal allocations. This publication also presents service provider by area planning council and region, selected Internet links for Illinois adult education and family literacy, and current service providers with contact information by region.
