Acting as an intermediary between the State Adult Basic Education (ABE) Staff and the County ABE Director and ABE instructional personnel is the Regional Adult Education Coordinator. Although specific responsibilities vary, in general the positions have many similarities. The Regional Coordinators attempt to be visible in the counties for which they are responsible, visiting full-time and half-time programs regularly and part-time programs annually or on an as-needed basis. The Regional Coordinator will advise instructors on teaching techniques, student learning styles, classroom groupings, curriculum offerings, and assessments. The Regional Coordinator informs the county staff on recent developments and trends from both state and national sources. Often the Regional Adult Education Coordinator attends meeting and in-services designed for instructors and passes the information to the instructors unable to attend the training. The regional coordinator maintains linkages with local projects related to the ABE program including the education system, libraries, literacy providers, community-based organizations, and county programs like the Family Resource Networks.

When programs are scheduled for on-site reviews, the Regional Coordinator prepares the county staff with an in-service and a series of visits to the county sites to either prepare a preliminary checklist for the audit review or advises program personnel for a full audit. In both situations, the Regional Coordinator accompanies the reviewers to the various program site. Regional Coordinators meet with State staff quarterly and relay the information received back to the county programs.

Since every ABE instructor is required to participate in a minimum of three hours of approved in-service offerings, the Regional Coordinator offers a variety of sessions conveniently located for the county personnel. In addition, the Regional Coordinator compiles and updates the information on both instructors and class offerings in the region.

Thus, the Regional Adult Education Coordinator performs a variety of tasks for both the counties and the State.
