What's coming up
by David Manzo, Luzerne County Community College, PAACE President
Hello, everyone. The Midwinter Conference is rapidly approaching, and members of the PAACE board are working hard to ensure another successful conference for members.
Once again, I am alerting you that there will be an increase in meal costs this year. The increase does not represent a profit for PAACE, but merely covers costs that in the past were underwritten by the organization. I also want to let you know that this year, starting March 1, 2004, there will be an increase in membership fee. It will help PAACE continue to provide a product of high quality to its membership. Members can avoid the increased fee by renewing prior to March. See details in Membership Committee Chair KayLynn Hamilton’s article below.
The PAACE board participated in a joint project with students at the Abington Campus of Penn State. The students in IST W440 researched software packages for the PAACE Board of Directors. The results of that project were presented at the December board meeting via teleconferencing.
Please feel free to contact any PAACE board member regarding issues, concerns, and questions you may have about your organization.
Midwinter Conference 2004 taking shape
by Mary Kay Peterson, La Comunidad Hispana, PAACE First Vice-President*
Pennsylvania has no shortage of talented professionals with skills and experience to share. With almost 140 proposals submitted to the 2004 Midwinter Conference, the tough job of trimming it to a manageable number of around 116 has been difficult. There wasn’t a clunker in the bunch! There will certainly be something for everybody to choose from in each time slot. The new administrators strand will have both a workshop and a sharing session to split your time between. There are also a number of unique sessions to be offered.
New and different this year will be the first Corrections Education Division meeting on Wednesday afternoon. Workforce and AB/SE divisions will be having an ice cream social for their meetings on Wednesday evening. Family Literacy and Continuing Higher Education (CHE) Divisions will hold their meetings with box lunches on Friday. EL/Civics will have a poster session during the Marketplace opening. Also the Marketplace opening will feature a children’s art show and children’s book illustrator sponsored by Family Literacy.
The registration form is now online with added benefit of being able to pay online through PayPal. Please note that we will NOT be invoicing this year, so payment must come with registration. Those interested in Act 48 credit will be able to also register in e-campus.
As we add to the plans, watch the website and your e-mail for more information. See you in February!
*The primary responsibility of the first vice-president is to chair the Midwinter Conference program.

Dues increase in PAACE’s future
by KayLynn Hamilton, Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy, PAACE Membership Chair
In an effort to keep conference costs as low as possible, PAACE members will see a rise in the cost of annual dues, beginning March 1, 2004. The cost of an individual membership will be $40 annually, while life membership will rise to $300. Organizational membership will increase to $100 while full-time students’ membership will be adjusted to $25. Associate membership for volunteers and retirees will increase to $15.
To avoid these increases at the present time, members need to renew their memberships before March 1, 2004. The 2005 PAACE Conference will have a substantial increase in the registration fees for non-members.
PAACE is a non-profit educational association whose mission is to enable its diverse members to help adults achieve lifelong educational goals and to represent its members by exercising leadership at the local, state and national levels. PAACE is the only statewide professional organization in Pennsylvania that serves as an advocate for adult and continuing education. The membership includes professionals and volunteers from all aspects of adult continuing education.
What’s in the numbers
At the December 2003 board meeting, PAACE Executive Director Joan Leopold furnished the following statistics are from the current PAACE membership. We found them interesting and thought you might too.

*Corrections Education Division is new and so was not included in past year's figures.
Corrections Education
PAACE adds a Program Division
by Rob Bender, Graterford SCI, Corrections Ed Division Director
Announcing the creation of a new PAACE Program Division: Corrections Education. The mission of the new division is to provide support, advocacy, and a resource for the unique professional development needs of those adult educators working within a corrections environment. It also seeks to create and maintain a more comprehensive identification with the adult education community at large, and, in the process, generate an accessible avenue for the cultivation and interchange of ideas and methods.
Although the Division is barely weeks old, two new workshops pertaining to corrections education are already featured on the PAACE Midwinter Conference agenda, including "The Learning Center Model/Multilevel Classroom" and "Teaching Writing in a Correctional Context."
In addition, time will be set aside during the conference for corrections educators to meet with Division Chair Rob Bender, Literacy Coordinator at SCI Graterford. All of us at PAACE feel that this welcome Program Division has been long overdue and we invite all corrections educators to become partners in the new Division's success.
Adult Basic and Secondary Education (ABSE)
What’s new in Adult Basic and Secondary Education?
by Chuck Klinger, Tuscarora Intermediate Unit, ABSE Division Director
The 2004 PAACE Conference is shaping up to be a great opportunity for the ABSE Division. There were numerous proposals to read, and they all seemed to offer a lot to the field. There will be a nice blend of topics and presenters at this year’s conference.
Topics will include sessions on teaching reading, writing, and math as well as learning differences, distance teaching and learning, integrating technology into adult education, and practitioners sharing their best practices. Presenters will be representing various state leadership projects and adult education agencies.
This year’s ABSE Division meeting will be held Wednesday evening beginning at 7 p.m., rather than at the end of the conference as in the past. Lunch will be replaced with an ice cream social. The purpose of this is to allow members to start traveling home a little earlier at the end of the conferences. We also hope you enjoy the opportunity to network at the beginning of the conference, as opposed to the end.
Family Literacy
Lots in store at Midwinter Conference
by Ruth Love-Schooley, Lycoming Co. Literacy Project, Family Literacy Division Co-Director
The Midwinter Conference is quickly approaching and the Family Literacy Division, in conjunction with Commonwealth Libraries and the Family Literacy Training Project, has a lot in store for you. I hope that you are planning to take advantage of the great workshops, the opportunities for networking, and the Division Luncheon.
Megan Lloyd, an illustrator of children’s books, will be joining us in the Marketplace Wednesday evening. Megan, born and raised in Pennsylvania, has illustrated over 40 books, including The Gingerbread Man by Eric Kimmel, Chirping Crickets by Melvin Berger, and Thanksgiving at the Tappletons by Eileen Spinnelli. Megan will be on hand to spotlight her work and talk with you about her experiences as an illustrator. We are excited to offer her as part of our Family Literacy children’s art show. For the exhibit, we are asking that programs select an art project completed by a child in your program. Watch your mail and the listserv for further details.
Be sure to register for the Division Lunch on Friday. A family from Lancaster-Lebanon IU 13’s Family Literacy Program will join us and share their story with us. Their success story is sure to affirm for you why you have chosen the field of Family Literacy. I look forward to seeing you at the Midwinter Conference. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at (570) 321-0200 or Division Co-Director Susan Mansuetti at (724) 773-7810.
Workplace Education
Networking over sundaes
by Laura Beach, Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy, Workplace Education Division Director
Do you want to learn applicable ideas for addressing workplace basic skills issues in your adult education program? Do you like chocolate sundaes? If you answered yes to either question, then you will want to attend the PAACE Workplace Education Division event at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, February 4 at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center, the first night of Midwinter Conference. Roundtable discussions and networking activities will facilitate a flow of informal professional development while participates enjoy ice cream sundaes with their favorite toppings. Join your colleagues for a professionally refreshing evening of networking. The cost is $10 per person and you can sign up on the conference registration form.
Answering a challenge
by Charlene H. Harrison, D.Ed., The Pennsylvania State University
Editor's note: This article was submitted for publication in PAACE News during the summer of 2003 and was inadvertently excluded from the Fall 2003 issue. We are grateful for all submissions of professional interest to PAACE members and apologize for the omission.
Carol B. Aslanian delivered the keynote address at May 2002’s Hendrick Best Practices for Adult Learners Conference, a conference sponsored for Penn Staters by the university’s Commission for Adult Learners. Ms. Aslanian shared results from her book, Adult Students Today (2001), published by The College Board, which summarized the findings of a 2002 nationwide study of credit and noncredit adult learners conducted by The College Board. This study provided a national picture of the undergraduate, the graduate, and the noncredit adult learner. At the conclusion of her presentation, Ms. Aslanian challenged us to learn more about Penn State’s undergraduate adult enrollees in comparison with the national picture. During the 2002-03 academic year, my colleagues and I sought to do just that.
Our efforts were directed at learning about Penn State’s undergraduate adult applicants and enrollees across the university’s twenty undergraduate locations and the World Campus. Some of our findings regarding the university’s undergraduate adult applicants from 1998 through 2002 are summarized below:
- Women were slightly more likely to apply than men.
- Most applicants were white and from Pennsylvania.
- Almost half were age 29 and younger; the median age was 30 years; the mean age was 32.
- About 43% of applicants were transfer applicants, about 27% were freshman applicants, and the remainder had provisional, provisional/nondegree to degree, and other applicant status.
- Most applicants sought bachelor’s degrees.
In contrast to the traditional-age undergraduate applicant, adults were “late” applicants with large numbers filing applications in the months immediately before their intended enrollment date.
Looking at five fall semesters (1998-2002) of data for undergraduate adults enrolled at the 20 campus locations (the World Campus was excluded), the following profile emerged:
- The percentage of women enrollees increased slightly from their percentage of adult applicants.
- The percentage of Pennsylvanians and of white students increased over their representation among applicants.
- There were slightly more enrollees age 29 and younger than among applicants.
- Almost half held provisional, nondegree, and common year status.
- The colleges at University Park with the largest numbers of adult enrollees were the College of the Liberal Arts, Health and Human Development, Engineering, and Agricultural Sciences.
- More adult enrollees sought associate degrees than baccalaureate degrees.
- Almost 40% of those enrolled at Commonwealth College locations were seeking Commonwealth College degrees.
- Almost 60% were enrolled as full-time students.
- Forty-two percent graduated in four years.
The findings for Penn State’s undergraduate adult enrollees differed somewhat from Aslanian’s national picture. For example, they were younger, less likely to be female, more likely to study full time, and more likely to study the liberal arts. The findings also had implications for the timing of recruitment programs, the timing of student aid awards for adult learners, the content of marketing messages, and more.
Just as Carol Aslanian challenged us at Penn State to learn more about our undergraduate adult learners, I encourage all of us to learn more about our adult applicants and enrollees if we have not already done so. You too will identify implications for policy and procedural change or development, for recruitment or retention practice, and for better serving the adults living in your communities who come to you seeking assistance to reach their educational goals.
WERC introduced at Workplace Learning Conference
PAACE member Suzanne Webster, Workplace Education Specialist with The Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy at The Pennsylvania State University, recently presented the workshop “Pennsylvania’s Approach to Workplace Basic Skills Instruction: The Workplace Education Resource Center” at the Workplace Learning Conference in Chicago.
Workshop participants learned about the goals and objectives of the Workplace Education Resource Center (WERC), received an introduction to Exploring Work-based Foundation Skills in the ABLE Classroom: Instructional Activities and Resources for Adult Learners by participating in sample classroom activities, and reviewed WERC resources and materials. Among the materials shared was a sample of the learner guide being developed at WERC. Included in the guide was an introduction to the Foundation Skills and strategies for applying them to career ladders, a Foundation Skills Self-Appraisal, and a page of “Classroom Clips.”
Participants also heard about the WERC regional Technical Assistants, experienced providers of work-related basic skills, who will provide field-based training and technical assistance to ABLE programs interested in integrating work-related basic skills instruction into their classrooms and programs. Finally, participants examined examples of the information included in the new WERC Web site. The site can be found at pawerc.org or foundationskills.org.
COABE 2004: A national conference in our backyard!
by Bootsie Barbour, Stairways, Inc., PA COABE Ohio Conference Representative
The Commission on Adult Basic Education (COABE) and the Ohio Association for Adult and Continuing Education (OAACE) invite you discover the best of adult education at the 2004 annual conference, April 24-28, 2004.
More than 1,200 adult educators will meet in at the Hyatt Regency in Columbus, Ohio for the annual Commission on Adult Basic Education Conference. It is not often that we in Pennsylvania are so close to the state hosting a national conference of this status. Being that we a neighboring state we hope that agencies will support the conference by sending practitioners from their agencies.
Pennsylvania has been asked to submit four initiatives that highlight some of the best of Pennsylvania’s Professional Development System. These sessions will be held on April 26 for the special Teacher Day highlighting the best of the regions. The four initiatives that have submitted proposals for this special day are Learning From Practice, the Learning Differences Center, the Workforce Education Resource Center, and Pennsylvania Family Literacy.
We encourage Pennsylvania practitioners to attend COABE so that Pennsylvania will have a strong representation. For more information explore the COABE Web site and learn about the conference, the host city Columbus, and the organizations sponsoring this conference.
You can also find out the details about registration from the Web site. General conference registration will begin in January 2004. Early conference registration (postmarked before March 24, 2004) will be $250 for members and $325 for non-members.
The COABE conference Web site is www.coabe04.org.

- program improvement through enhanced curriculum, instruction, assessment, counseling, student services, research/evaluation, or community involvement.
The TIU received one of these grants about seven years ago to develop a student handbook. I can tell you the application process was very simple and so was the reporting. The grants are for $1500 and travel support funds are also given to come to the national conference.
COABE Scholarship
COABE Scholarships are great support for tuition for college-level courses! The award is for up to $2000 annually. Part time students are also eligible. The courses need to advance the professional standing of the COABE practitioner.

Omnibus Appropriations Bill passes House
by JoAnn Weinberger, Center for Literacy, PAACE Legislative Committee Chair
The federal Omnibus Appropriations Bill, which affects adult basic and literacy education's 2004-05 funding, has been passed by the U.S. House and is awaiting final Senate approval. The funding levels for two line items of critical importance to PAACE members are:
| 03-04 Funding Level | Omnibus Appropriations Bill Level | |
| State Education Grants | $571.262 million | $574.372 million |
| Even Start | $248.375 million | $246.910 million |
The Omnibus Appropriations Bill Levels include a .59% across-the-board cut to programs in the bill. Thus, for planning purposes, there is a slight increase in State Education Grants and a slight decrease in Even Start.
