This evaluation tool was created and then used to measure eight instructors’ability to use technology in their teaching in four adult programs sponsored in part by the Ohio Cooperative Extension Service and a partner, Godman Guild, a settlement house located in a Columbus, Ohio neighborhood identified as located in an empowerment zone. Funding through the Federal Department of Education for a Community Technology Center was granted for this project which required an instructor pre and post evaluation component to be conducted by the Center on Education and Training for Employment. The data collected using this instrument was then used to design customized professional development plans and interventions to address technology usage as well as general instructional competencies for effective adult teaching for learning. The contribution of this paper is the TABLE Checklist and professional development system designed for this project.Item Learning Her Way In: The Life History Of A Latina Adult Educator(Midwest Research-to-Practice Conference in Adult, Continuing, and Community Education, 2003) Hatcher, Denise L.This paper explores the various learning experiences of a bilingual and bicultural woman of Mexican heritage. The data collection and data analysis were performed with the intent of creating a life history and allowing recurrent themes to emerge. These three recurrent themes were identified as interplay among learning, survival, and spirituality; health, health care, and parish nursing; and multiple and competing contexts. The essential structure that connected all of the recurrent themes was the participant’s learning and the impacts that it had on her lived experiences. In this way, Monica and her life history are the story of a Latina who has learned her own way into a second culture.
