 Partner States 
The STAR Tool Kit and training package was designed to improve ABE classroom
instructional practices in reading by translating research to practice.
Partner states receive training and technical assistance in using the STAR Tool
Kit to:
-
choose appropriate diagnostic assessment tools for their adult students;
-
develop instructional approaches based on assessment results; and
-
examine program structures to support implementation of evidence-based reading
instruction.
The STAR Tool Kit was pilot tested in six states between July 2005 and May
2006. All pilot states are currently expanding STAR practices to additional
local programs. Twelve new states have recently joined the STAR partner
network.
