Adult Education's Goal
Adult Education classes provide a second chance for people who did not graduate from high school. Through participation, students improve their skills in reading, writing, mathematics, communications, and computer skills. A diagnostic test is given to identify individual needs. An individualized plan of instruction is designed to help each student reach his/her education goals. Materials designed for adult learners are used. Each student establishes personalized academic and work related goals.
Individualized instruction is provided whether in a group setting or by using a computer with appropriate instructional software. The pace of the instruction is determined by the student. Interactive group instruction and peer tutoring are frequently employed. Classes are held in a variety of locations and settings to meet the needs of the students.
