transitional english program (STEP) many years ago. It is available from
ERIC.

How many adult education programs have classes related to teaching
students study skills and note taking skills and/ or have some kind of
class that prepares students in some way for the changes that he/she
will face when they enter post secondary education?

If these classes / skills were incorporated into programs, might it not
help students to be better prepared for post secondary education?

What other skills might be necessary to help Adult Education students
be better enabled for success when they leave our programs?


What services might need to be provided to our students to better
enable them to consider post secondary education as a viable option?


Are there changes that need to be made in Adult Education programs
themselves, in terms of how classes are set up and what teachers should
expect of their students, in order to be prepare them for the next
step?

These were just some questions that came to mind as I've been
reading/participating in the disucssion.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are
pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are
different colors...but they all have to learn to live in
the same box.
