I work at a community college in Seattle, Wash. Probably 1/2 of our ABE-ESL students are academically bound in that they may enter our course at level 1 (out of 6) with the ultimate goal of getting into a vocational 1-2 year program or else earn a BA/BS. My question is, where does the category of "academically bound" fit into the EFF framework? I am a little dismayed that there isn't a straight out category established. Would "academically bound" go into the category of "worker". Part of providing a "customer driven" education to students is to look at their long range goals and dreams as well as address their current life skill needs. At Shoreline college we have been successfully doing both for years. Yet now with the funding requirements we are wondering how to account for so many of our beginning level students eventually going on to college and university. Any ideas regarding how we can present ourselves to funders? Do any of you have a similar type program? TI look forward to discussing this issue of academically bound ESL students. Elizabeth Hanson
