Abstract	The resource manual was developed by a staff development project that trained both paid staff and volunteer tutors to integrate CASAS (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System) as an assessment and curriculum tool. It is designed to assist tutors in linking task and skill competencies. The manual begins with an overview of assessment and learning that includes a flowchart showing the sequence from test to instruction to mastery and ideas for tutors. The remainder contains sections on the five topic areas tested by CASAS: basic communication skills; consumer economics skills; health-related basic skills; employment-related basic skills; and basic skills (with additional material on interpreting graphs). A brief final report following the manual describes the following project outcomes: 51% (126) of the tutors who were active during the project year have attended the training; 49% chose to receive the resource manual and use it to develop lesson strategies; 98% of the tutors who attended the workshop felt it gave them training that would help them create lessons and instructions that would help them to be more effective literacy tutors; tutor training was redesigned to incorporate a skills-based approach; in telephone contacts with 15 students whose tutors had received training, all 15 stated that they felt they were learning more that they could use in their daily lives; and 12 showed measurable progress when posttested at year end.
