摘要
The University of Mississippi has developed and implemented a curriculum model for adults, Project LEAP (Learn, Earn, and Prosper) and "at-risk" youth, SNAP (Satellite Network Alternative Program). This 20-hour per week literacy and basic skills program is broadcast via satellite from the University to over 60 sites nationwide. Through a unique one-way video, two-way audio format, Project LEAP's curriculum provides academic and life skills instruction that equips learners for successful participation in the workplace.
