19.Adult Basic Education (ABE) PreparationTask
The ABE Department serves a huge population of learners.Our task is to teach basic skills and help learners to get more knowledge to function effectively as a family member,citizen,worker,and lifelong learner in a changing world.
Description
ABE Is a non-credit program of self-improvement designed to improve basic skills for students who are of different educational levels.Development of reading,writing,and math skills are paid special attention to,as well as life skills,employability,and technology.Students without a high school diploma also have the opportunity to prepare for the GED (General Equivalency Diploma) exams in the five subject areas:writing,social studies,science,literature,and math.
Prerequisites (条件)
ABE classes are open to anyone 18or over who desires to improve basic reading,writing,and math skills at the pre-college level.Students who are 16 or 17 must obtain an official permission from high school before attending class.
To be accepted,students must attend an Educational Planning Session.During the Educational Planning Session students will be given an overview of the ABE programs as well as PCC policies,fees,etc.
Students will also have their reading,writing,and math abilities assessed (评估)during the Educational Planning Session.The results of their assessments will help the teachers develop individual programs of study for students to guide them toward their personal goals.Students needing special help must get in touch with the Office for Students with Disabilities (503-977-4341)at least two weeks before the session is held.
