The Peer TA Network would like to know what strategies States are using to improve low literacy levels among TANF participants in a short amount of time? How are programs structured and what curriculum is being used for participants with or without a high school diploma or G.E.D., but still test at a low literacy level?

The Peer TA Network would like to know what States are doing to equip TANF participants with Adult Basic Education/General Educational Development opportunities?

Georgia would like to find out how other states are providing Adult Basic Education/GED/Literacy services for their TANF clients.

One of the states in our Region has asked how other states are implementing alternative educational or training programs for teenage parents who are not attending high school or another equivalent training program (Sec. 408 (a)(4)(B)). The concern is for teens under 18 who cannot attend regular high school or GED programs for good cause, such as the prolonged illness of the teen or of the teen's child. If you know how other states may be serving this group, we would appreciate any information you can provide.
