    My challenge:+Teach Basic English(two levels below college)from 6:45 to 10 p.m. oncea week

    +Traditional success rateat this level: 60%

    +Hired the week beforethe semester began

    +No books

    Barriers to success I haveobserved:

    +Spotty attendance25%of the class is missing onany given day; however, it is

    not the same 25% of theclass

    +Lack of study skills

    +Misapprehensions about

    college culture+Grammar can be deadlyboring

    +Sentence-to-paragraphtopics can be simplistic
