This instructional module is intended to train adult educators in integrating competency-based education (CBE) and state-of-the-art instructional technology in their adult basic education (ABE) classrooms. It is divided into seven instructional units. The following topics are covered in the individual units: the tenets of CBE and its role in ABE, the Adult Performance Level project, the statewide competency-based high school diploma program in Texas, the Comprehensive Competencies Program (CCP), the Principles of Alphabet Literacy System (PALS), a model adult CBE program using state-of-the-art technology, and the future of ABE as it relates to CBE. Each unit contains a list of objectives, instructional text, and review questions. Appendixes include a pilot questionnaire on CCP programs in Texas, a listing of CCP centers in Texas, a timetable for CCP and PALS goal accomplishments, and an evaluation plan. (MN)
