Abstract	Adult education and literacy has never been more valued in Iowa than it is now. Adult Education and Literacy (AEL) empowers individuals to become self-sufficient by providing the basic skills and knowledge necessary to complete a secondary education credential and helps them meet their education and career goals. Nationally, AEL programs serve 1.5 million adults who are no longer in school and who lack basic literacy and math skills, English language acquisition, and/or a high school diploma or a recognized equivalent. Participants come to adult education to leave public assistance, to qualify for employment, to help their children with homework, to become more involved in their communities, and to achieve citizenship skills. The "Adult Education and Literacy Coordinator Handbook" (Handbook) is a one of several resources that AEL Providers (Providers), Partners, and other stakeholders can use to understand the structure, policies, procedures, and best practices in adult education. The Iowa Department of Education recognizes that Iowa families face multiple responsibilities as they address their children's educational needs, as well as their own. Iowa's adult education and literacy programs build skills for success by providing adults with the opportunity to acquire and to improve functional skills necessary to enhance the quality of their lives as workers, family members, and citizens. These services play an important role in fostering productive employment, effective citizenship, personal and family growth, self-esteem, and dignity for adult learners. The purpose of this handbook is to provide program leaders with the information they need to be successful in helping adults master the skills they need to compete and to build careers and better futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.
