Adult
Basic Skills (ABS) Basic
skills instruction includes reading,
writing, spelling, language arts,
mathematics, and GED preparation.
Adult students use
interactive computer curricula with
supplemental one-on-one tutoring to
improve their basic skills or English
language usage. This instructional
method allows us to develop an
educational program tailored to each
individual’s needs and abilities.
Students develop a
variety of immediately useful skills
such as keyboarding and general computer
operation, which are required in an
ever-increasing number of workplace
situations.
Basic skills
instruction is offered in reading,
writing, spelling, language arts,
mathematics, and GED preparation.
Students are
eighteen
years of age or older.
Students must be
able to make substantial progress
working on computer curricula without
constant one-on-one support from
Learning Lab staff, volunteer tutors,
or an outside assistant.
Students attend
classes four or five hours per week for two
or 2 1/2 hours each session. Classes are
offered in the mornings, afternoons
and evenings.
Students should expect
to attend classes a minimum of six
months in order to see measurable
improvement.
