I-Best: A Program Integrating Adult Basic Education and Workforce Training. Research Report Number 05-2
Overview & Synopsis
Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) pairs English as a second language (ESL)/adult basic education (ABE) instructors and professional-technical instructors in the classroom to concurrently provide students with literacy education and workforce skills. In Spring 2004, the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges' Offices for Adult Basic Education and Workforce Education (SBCTC) began 10 innovative demonstration I-BEST projects that tested traditional notions that students must first complete all levels of basic education before they can begin workforce training. All of the projects focused on ESL education. This research report provides an overview of the Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) demonstration program in Washington State. I-BEST uses a co-instruction model that pairs ABE/ESL instructors and professional-technical instructors concurrently to provide students with literacy education and workforce skills. The report presents lessons learned and related research and illustrates how they can be applied to practice.
