Abstract	This document addresses issues concerning the development of innovative and performance-based methods to fund adult education, which was a recommendation in the 1989 California Strategic Plan for Adult Education. Specifically, it was recommended that funding policies and mechanisms be adjusted to allow and encourage "any-time, any-place, on-demand" instruction through: (1) the use of instructional technologies such as computer-assisted instruction and televised courses; (2) innovative and nontraditional educational methods such as tutoring and on-the-job training; and (3) collaborative programs. In addition, it was recommended that funding be linked to performance. Chapter 1 offers a history and summary of the recommendation and lists its objectives. Chapter 2 is a review of relevant literature. Chapter 3 covers issues surrounding the recommendation and options for its implementation. They include obtaining legislative authority to test models, adopting the independent study approach as a basis for nontraditional adult education, developing a cafeteria plan of reimbursement options, developing a statistically reliable model for measuring learner competencies, and using EduCard (the Adult Education Access Card, an educational recordkeeping and information system) to facilitate public-private and cross-agency ventures. Recommendations appear in Chapter 4. Chapter 5 summarizes the preceding chapters. (CML)
