Inquiry Project Overview – 2010-11

Inquiry grants are created by Adult Basic Education to facilitate the development of innovative practices that increase access and success for adult education students along a career and education pathway to the Tipping Point and beyond. They build on the creative energy from Rendezvous to allow providers to try new things out and let the system know the results. The FY2011 grant applications were based on learnings from Rendezvous, the Transitions Summit, Learning Standards workshops, I-BEST and other topics. Projects are intended to directly impact faculty and staff to improve the outcomes of students. Both an interim and a final report are required at the conclusion of the grant cycle. The final reports are posted below.
