Abstract	The Philadelphia Mayor's Commission on Literacy undertook a project to develop and conduct collaborative training that would promote a more egalitarian relationship between teachers/facilitators and learners and greater learner input in the instructional planning process. A collaborative learning (CL) manual was developed, a 12-hour CL training program was designed, and three trainers conducted training sessions attended by a total of 34 individuals from 21 agencies involved in providing adult literacy services in Philadelphia. Twenty-five participants completed the CL training. One of the three trainers then served as a mentor for six of the CL training participants. Each mentee completed a final report, and the mentor submitted a report on each mentee and a final report reflecting on the mentoring process. All of the project goals were achieved. The mentoring aspect of the project was considered especially successful. (Appendixes constituting approximately 85% of this document contain the following: outline and activities for CL group staff development; CL training dates; program flyers, advertisements, and announcements; training outline; reading materials; mentor's advertisement; mentees' meeting agendas; mentor's report on each mentee; mentor's final report; mentees' reports; evaluations; and miscellaneous forms used in the program.)
