Dear colleagues,

You may be interested in sharing announcement with practitioners who have
students who are transitioning to postsecondary education.

The www.collegeforadults.org ( http://www.collegeforadults.org/ ) website is
designed by the National College Transition Network (NCTN) for independent
study or as a supplement for in-class study. It teaches study skills, links
to sites with academic online preparation, and guides prospective college
students through offices such as Admissions and Student Support. 

GED classes and tests by themselves do not prepare adults for college. They
do not teach adults how to write term papers, read college texts, understand
college terminology, take notes at a lecture, or how to navigate the college
environment.  The NCTN's College for Adults website helps to fill these
gaps. The site was piloted at three Massachusetts adult ESOL programs and
redesigned this year with funding from Verizon Foundation, Massachusetts.

Please address questions and comments to Priyanka Sharma at NCTN via e-mail
to psharma at worlded.org.
