PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) recognizes that today's workplace presents
numerous opportunities and challenges for adults in West Virginia. Employers need workers
with strong basic skills and an ability to adapt to change. Today's families are faced with
multiple responsibilities as they address their children's educational needs as well as their own.
Special populations, such as the homeless and incarcerated, must deal with additional
challenges in order to lead safe and productive lives.
To effectively serve the foundational learning needs of these diverse groups, a learning system
that is flexible and responsive is necessary. The West Virginia Adult Education (WVAdultEd)
program has developed such a system for adult learners.
WVAdultEd programs build skills for success by providing adults with the opportunity to acquire
and improve functional skills necessary to enhance the quality of their lives as workers, family
members, and citizens. These programs play an important role in fostering productive
employment, effective citizenship, personal and family growth, self-esteem, and dignity for
adult learners.
Educational services are available at no cost to adult learners and are designed to meet the
educational needs of each individual. Certified adult education instructors provide instruction.
Federal Role in Adult Education
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) was signed into law on July 22, 2014
replacing the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) of 1998. WIOA reauthorizes Title II: the Adult
Education and Family Literacy Act (AEFLA).
WIOA retains and expands the purposes of AEFLA. Under WIA, AEFLA aimed to help adults
improve their educational and employment outcomes, become self-sufficient, and support the
educational development of their children, but under WIOA, AEFLA’s purposes have been
expanded to include assisting adults to transition to postsecondary education and training,
including through career pathway programs. Further, WIOA formalizes the role of adult
education in assisting English language learners to acquire the skills needed to succeed in the
21st-century economy.
Title II of WIOA provides the framework for the West Virginia Adult Education (WVAdultEd)
program. The federal Division of Adult Education and Literacy (DAEL) provides grants to states
to fund adult education and literacy services, including workplace literacy; family literacy;
English language acquisition and integrated English literacy and civics education, workforce
preparation, or integrated education and training.
Individuals eligible to receive services must be at least 16 years of age and not enrolled or
required to be enrolled in secondary school under State law. Additionally, an eligible individual
WVAdultEd Instructor Handbook, Section 1, 2015-2016
1
must meet at least one of the following criteria: 1) be basic skills deficient, 2) not have a high
school diploma or its equivalent, or 3) be an English language learner.
The amount of funding each state receives is based on a formula established by Congress.
States, in turn, distribute funds to local eligible entities to provide adult education and literacy
services. In our state, the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) distributes these
federal funds to local programs.
The National Reporting System (NRS) is the accountability system mandated by the federal
government. The NRS (http://www.nrsweb.org/) includes student measures to describe adult
education students, program participation and assessment of the impact of adult education
instruction, methodologies for collecting the measures, reporting forms and procedures, and
training and technical assistance activities to assist states in collecting the measures.
States are required to report data to the NRS, to meet performance standards for student
outcome measures, and to assess local program effectiveness using these standards.
State Role in Adult (Basic) Education
The West Virginia State Legislature also provides funding to support WVAdultEd. Both federal
and state WVAdultEd funds are administered in accordance with an approved five-year state
plan through the WVDE Office of Adult Education and Workforce Development. Funding is
distributed to local programs through an annual competitive grant process.
The WVAdultEd state and regional staff based at WVDE and at Regional Education Service
Agencies (RESAs) provide technical assistance to local programs in the areas of program
administration; instructor training; student retention; delivery systems; assessment,
curriculum; disabilities and other special learning needs; English Language Acquisition (ELA);
technology; high school equivalency assessment; evaluation and monitoring; and other
associated issues.
According to the West Virginia State Board of Education Policy 2420, the following are the Adult
Basic Education (ABE): Essential Elements (§126-57-4):





Adult Basic Education (ABE) programs will provide instruction in foundational skills
related to employment, family, educational, civic and personal goals.
Each ABE program will develop a planning document that specifies program goals and
objectives and is regularly reviewed and revised.
Each ABE program will develop and utilize a needs assessment system to determine the
type of course offerings, preferred locations and class scheduling most appropriate to
meet the needs of the community.
ABE programs will develop a system for obtaining continual community input and
coordination to ensure that services are relevant, to avoid duplication of effort and to
create a smooth transition of services for the adult learner.
ABE programs will target student recruitment activities toward adults most in need of
educational and life skill services.

Curriculum and instruction will be geared to a variety of student learning styles and
levels of student needs.
Emphasis will be placed on the use of technology as an instructional tool and a learning
skill for participant use.
Adults with special learning needs will be identified and provided with appropriate
accommodations for learning.
Community support services will be identified and utilized to meet the adult learners’
needs.
ABE classes will be located in facilities that are safe, handicapped-accessible and
conducive to learning.
Adult learners will be assisted to improve in foundational skills that: (1) support their
educational needs; (2) enhance existing strengths; (3) enable them to function more
effectively in their roles as worker, parent and citizen; and (4) prepare them for further
education or training.
A data collection system will be utilized to document and record participant
achievement.
ABE program instructors will participate in an ongoing process for professional
development that considers the specific needs of its staff and adult learners.
A continuous improvement process will be executed to ensure that all services are of
the highest quality and meet standards of accountability.
County/Local Role in Adult Education
Many WVAdultEd local programs are operated through county boards of education that
designate one employee to serve as County WVAdultEd Director. This individual is responsible
for determining the need for WVAdultEd programs within the county, promoting these
programs, recruiting students, coordinating the scheduling of WVAdultEd classes, hiring
instructors, and overseeing financial and attendance reports. In a few counties, the RESA
performs these functions.
Programs are also offered through volunteer literacy programs, community-based
organizations, and institutional education programs with their own local program coordinators.

PARTNERS IN ADULT EDUCATION, LITERACY, AND WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT IN WEST VIRGINIA
The WVAdultEd program works collaboratively with numerous workforce development,
education, family services, and literacy partners to provide a network of services to adult
learners.
PARTNERS UNDER WIOA
The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014 (WIOA) seeks to improve coordination
between the primary federal programs that support employment services, workforce
development, adult education, and vocational rehabilitation activities. The core programs are:




Title I: Adult and Dislocated Worker programs and Youth Programs
o Administered in our state by WorkForce West Virginia
Title II: Adult Education and Family Literacy Act programs
o Administered in our state by the Office of Adult Education and Workforce
Development at the WV Department of Education
Title III: Wagner-Peyser/Employment Service Act programs
o Administered in our state by WorkForce West Virginia
Title IV: Vocational Rehabilitation program
o Administered in our state by the WV Division of Rehabilitation Services (WVDRS)
The state is still working on implementing the WIOA in West Virginia and details and plans will
be forthcoming. Below are the key partners under WIOA. All instructors will need to establish
working relationships with local programs connected to these agencies.
The Office of Adult Education and Workforce Development
The Office of Adult Education and Workforce Development, under the West Virginia
Department of Education (WVDE), administers state and federal funding of the statewide
WVAdultEd program. It is one of the core partners under Title II of WIOA.
Local WVAdultEd programs receive funding, ongoing technical assistance, coordination, and
support through the state WVAdultEd staff, regional personnel located at Regional Education
Service Agencies (RESAs), and county WVAdultEd directors who administer the services. A
listing of the statewide WVAdultEd Staff working with specific program components is found in
Section 1 Appendix. The WVAdultEd program’s web page includes information relevant to adult
educators and learners including: state, regional, and local administrators, instructors,
volunteers, and students. http://wvde.state.wv.us/abe/.
West Virginia Division of Rehabilitative Services ( WVDRS)
The West Virginia Division of Rehabilitation Services (DRS) helps people with disabilities prepare
for, get, keep, or advance in employment. To accomplish that goal, DRS provides a broad range
WVAdultEd Instructor Handbook, Section 1, 2015-2016
16
of vocational rehabilitation services such as assessment, job training, rehabilitation therapy,
and other support services to people with disabilities. It is one of the core partners under Title
IV of WIOA.
Adults with disabilities can qualify for DRS services (including customized training programs),
become aware of their disabilities, and receive appropriate accommodations in standardized
assessment (e.g., extra time, audio versions, etc. for the state-approved high school
equivalency assessment), in the workplace, and in other life settings. DRS also refers clients to
adult education programs.
WVAdultEd has developed a cooperative relationship with state DRS personnel and a system of
referral which meets DRS intake requirements. DRS is one resource through which adult
learners seeking employment have been able to obtain assessment and documentation of
disabilities at no cost. In addition, DRS and WVAdultEd share the cost of classroom
accommodations (sign language interpreters, Braille materials, etc.) for students in our
programs that have hearing and/or vision disabilities. For a list of DRS offices, see
http://www.wvdrs.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.displaystory&groupID=88&itemid=26.
Workforce Investment Boards/WorkForce West Virginia Career Centers

system provides a single access point to a variety of state and local employment assistance
organizations. The state agency administers labor market services funded by the Wagner Peyser
Act (WIOA Title III) as well as programs for displaced workers and out-of-school youth (WIOA
Title I). West Virginia is divided into seven regions that administer these federally-funded
programs. WorkForce WV Career Centers are located within each region. Services are available
at centers listed on the locations map:

WVLC actively promotes literacy and recognizes the month of September as the state's official
Literacy Month.
The literacy roles that libraries play may vary depending upon the community’s needs. Some
libraries provide rooms for literacy tutoring and training or for WVAdultEd classes, as well as
videos and audio books, instructional materials, computer facilities, and special collections
developed for new readers. Tutors are trained to use the whole library as a resource tool. When
the local literacy council is not housed in the library’s facilities, librarians can refer students to
an approved literacy program in the community. www.librarycommission.wv.gov/.

NOTE: WVAdultEd TIS were selected because of their interest and expertise in the area of technology. Each
participant selected then entered training. The goal of the training is to provide educators with the 21st century skills
and tools necessary to assume the role of a Technology Integration Specialist (TIS). Participants in this initiative
received the equivalent of 320 hours of professional development over the course of a program year. Completers of
the program may then apply for the TIS advanced credential awarded by the Office of Professional Preparation.
James Adkins (RESA 3) and Neavoda J. Judy (RESA 7) are currently completing TIS Training. Upon successful
completion of the training, they will be added to the above Contact List.
