Adult Education

The Adult Education and GED Program is designed to meet the academic, professional, and personal needs of both its adult basic education and GED student participants.  

• providing assistance in achievement of a GED;
• encouraging expansion of personal reading and language skills through individualized tutoring and small group interactions;
• enhancing job skills through training and computer access; and
• providing job placement opportunities through partnerships.

Instruction is offered in the following formats:

• individual instruction (used to provide one-on-one academic instruction and interaction)
• small group instruction (used to address academic and developmental stages and needs)
• computer-assisted learning and testing (used to promote computer skills and independent learning)

Based on current research into the ways adults learn to read and the methods that bring the best response, our developmental reading program addresses a wide range of reading problems that matches each learners assessed reading level.  Our learners’ strengths and needs cut across all aspects of the reading spectrum, and the reading program provides learners with different mixes of instructional approaches for more efficient and balanced instruction.  The reading selections pertain to high-interest topics of relevance to adults.
