As GSAMS - Georgia Statewide Academic and Medical System - expands across the state, the Department has installed two-way interactive audio/video equipment at 34 technical institutes and off-campus locations. Also in the system of technical institutes, 32 sites have operational satellite dishes. GSAMS usage for the second half of FY 95 was over 960 hours per month for the technical institute sites. During those hours, this equipment hosted many collaborative projects among the technical institutes, other state agencies and the community. Georgia's technical institute GSAMS sites partners included: Local high schools to teach general core courses The University of Georgia to instruct undergraduate and graduate courses to local students and faculty State Merit System for Instructor Roundtable Discussions on GeorgiaGain Performance Management Process Training Georgia Economic Developers Association for BEST Practices forums National Alliance of Business to hold workforce development town meetings on School-to-Work systems Local chambers of commerce to provide legislative updates during the legislative session. To improve faculty development opportunities, two distance education modules were piloted for Instructor Training Institute graduates. These training sessions included GSAMS equipment introductions and techniques for teaching effectively with GSAMS. Through the TECHNIQUIP Partnership Program, new and used equipment valued at $342,603 was donated to GDTAE's technical institutes. This included heating /air conditioning equipment, televisions and electronics training equipment, new automotive parts for each automotive technology lab and video tapes for Quick Start. During the year, $295,979 was donated through the Georgia Fund for Technical and Adult Education, Inc., These funds supported programs including GOAL, Adult Literacy's Eagle Awards and the Commissioner's Award of Excellence. 12 Data/Information Systems Collaborative efforts are underway to track students in Georgia's educational systems and therefore better assess the. outcomes of education efforts. The GPECC - Georgia Postsecondary Education Collaborative Council's Data Committee is a partnership of GDTAE and the University System to study enrollment patterns. The P-16 Council, appointed by Governor Zell Miller, is a three way collaborative of the Georgia Department of Education, the University System and GDTAE. GDTAE has a representative on the National Center for Education Statistics team for developing a Student Data Manual for higher education institutions. The U.S. Department of Education conducted a major program review of technical education in Georgia. Following the review process, Dr. Winifred I. Warnat, Director of the Division of Vocation.al Education of the U.S. Department of Education commented, "Georgia is to be commended for its overall integrated effort of education reform." A Continuous Quality Improvement project with the Preside_nts' Council Data Comm_ittee was implemented during FY 95. Its purpose is to improve the accuracy, timeliness, and utility of the information system products. Ways to use distance learning technology were explored through focus groups, assessment of data, database expansion to address emerging needs and building a coding structure to track usage. One of the final accomplishments of the fiscal year capitalizes on technology. Documents for program standards/program guides and other curriculum information are now provided to the technical institutes through direct . on-line computer access to electronic .files. In _this Age of Technology, this on-line system replaces printing and shipping large. quantities of documents. ~ 0 0 .Cc () ~ 'S :G) G) ...c., .-C a, C- G) C t: "L ' -C 0 i ,,() ::, -w -"()' .cc () ~ 13 Technical Education Student Resources The Georgia Department of Human Resources - Division of Rehabilitation Services and GDTAE established a cooperative agreement for training and supplemental services for eligible individuals with disabilities. These two agencies, partners with the Department of Education - Division of Exceptional Students, the Georgia Department of Labor and the University System, cosponsored a transition conference for service providers of students with disabilities. Regional interagency teams were also established to assist in the delivery of services to individuals with disabilities. A JTPA -- Job Training Partnership Act-- Grant of $2,544,215 funded 53 projects for FY 95. These State Education Coordination Grant funds provided training and support services in these targeted activities: Literacy and Lifelong Learning Nontraditional Employment for Women School-to-Work Transition A partnership with the Georgia Department of Corrections and 10 technical institutes offered continuing education services and valuable training to inmates at 11 correctional facilities around the state. New Connections, a Georgia program for 16 years, served over 9,000 individuals during FY 95. New Connections provides access to education, training, and job placement for single parents and displaced homemakers across the state. A new welfare reform initiative -- The WORK Program -- will expand the services of New Connections. WORK is a collaborative pilot program between the Georgia Department of Human Resources (OHR) - Division of Family and Children Services (DFACS) and GDTAE. The goal of the WORK initiative is to move persons from welfare recipient status to successful jobs. In its initial stages, it is estimated that 1,500 persons will benefit from the programs established at Atlanta Tech and Athens Tech. This partnership will also expand electronic data collection services between DHR and GDTAE. Many students enrolled in Georgia's technical institutes 14 participate in postsecondary stude.nt organizations to enh.ance their professional development.

This division serves Georgia's new, expanding, and existing industries. By delivering service in both traditional training for business and industry and the development of innovative solutions, Economic Development Programs works with the challenges facing Georgia's business partners. In fiscal year 1995, the Office of Economic Development Programs moved its headquarters to the same fadlity with the administrative offices of GDTAE in Atlanta. The new site strengthens the division's ability to display Quick Start's training capabilities and to serve the interests of Georgia's system of technical institutes. Quick Start projects totaled 240 during FY 95, a 45% increase over the previous year. A record number of new jobs - 11,353 - were created by new and expanding Georgia companies served by Quick Start. The new jobs represent a 27% increase over 1994. For six consecutive years, Quick Start's cost-per-trainee continued to decrease. From 1990 to 1995, trainee costs decreased from $639 to $384 while the number of trainees increased from 9,455 to 21,158. Recent training innovations involve the use of multimedia and computer-based approaches to unique training challenges. Some Quick Start projects during FY 95 used animation to show internal operations of machines; colorful life-sized renditions of control panels that allow trainees to practice use without the danger to personnel or equipment; job aids that can be positioned at each stage of a manufacturing process; and computer-based games that can be keyed to specific workshops and support the learning process and team building. 22 Econ.omic Developmenttraining programs delive.red to Georgia's. existing indu.stries at Georgia's technical institutes: . provided training services for1 ,073 companies and organizations, a 31 % increas.e over FY 1994 provided training for 47,808 trainees, a 28% increase over.1994 ~ supplied875,987 h.ours of training, a 21% increase overFY1994 Customized training for existing industries includes manufacturing.technology and. consulting,. apprenticeships, assessment and associated inqustry initiatives, and public se.ctor partnerships..Initiatives in these areas range from transportable on~site computer training and job profiling to rnaintenance skills assessment, ISO 9000 training, support for work-culture shifts, education consortia and cross-training maintenance employees.

Department of Technical and Adult Education 25 Adult Literacy Getting to Know You was the theme for the Sixth Annual Georgia Literacy Conference. Over 1, 100 literacy leaders were introduced to the latest trends in literacy and literacy practices. The historical Georgia Railroad Depot was the site of the first statewide General Educational Development Staff Development and Awards event. Governor Zell Miller was presented the first national Outstanding Leadership Award by the General Educational Development Testing Service (GEDTS) based in Washington, D.C. For the second year, EAGLE Awards - Exceptional Adult Georgian In Literacy Education recognized the most outstanding adult students in seven categories of literacy. Each student was presented an EAGLE Award medallion, a $500 US Savings Bond and the title Literacy Ambassador. Retiring Ambassadors from 1994 were inducted into an honorary literacy group, the Ambassador's Circle. Certified Literate Community Programs (CLCP) continue to build partnerships for literacy in communities throughout the state. The state-approved program is designed to mobilize every available community resource, both public and private into an adult literacy campaign. Functioning within state guidelines, the program's goal is to improve literacy skills for the majority of Georgia's adults within 10 years. As of the end of this fiscal year, 28 communities have received CLCP Participant status. With the continued commitment of First Lady Shirley Miller, community literacy efforts in Georgia receive recognition and support. Eighty-three 10-station computer labs were established in the 83 counties with full-time adult literacy instructors. Software was selected to include all literacy levels of instruction. As a part of the Age of Technology, keyboarding and computer literacy software programs were recommended by a reviewing committee. Going on line with NovaNET - a comprehensive networked instructional package 14 adult literacy pilot sites will use this network to correlate with the Adult Literacy Teacher's Curriculum Guide. The Center for Rehabilitation Technology of Georgia Tech, Literacy Action, Inc. and CRT, Inc. in partnership with GDTAE have developed one of Georgia's largest distance learning projects. Reading instruction for low-level readers using the whole language approach is broadcast live via satellite from Georgia Tech. The distance learning class is transmitted to 95 classrooms serving 593 students across the state. 26 The Housing Authorities in Bremen, Carrollton, C9lumbus, Rome and Winder were awarded Federal Gateway Grants for.literacy services to famHies residing in public housing. ~ -0 0 .Cc Over 1,1oo.literacy Providers att~nded 59 workshops designed to meet the continuing .education needs of () ~ adult literacy educators in public and private programs in Georgia, Quring the. year, workshops. i.ncluded c Computer Assisted.
