Project Director:

Project Title: Enhancement to Competency-Based Curriculum

Goal: To develop increased efficiency in the evaluation, use, and production of written material and video tapes relating to competency-based instruction.

Background: The wide diversity of population and increased growth in Hillsborough County and Florida in general has resulted in a proportional growth and the need for adult education. Since adult education in Hillsborough County is provided mainly by part time instructors in a diversity of locations, it is essential that a nucleus of the staff be trained in the construction of materials and in the implementation of a competency-based program.
