Transient nature of students When students struggle with personal
issues many stop attending their program of study
Critical issue is supporting teachers to establish relationships with all students
Online programs allow instructors to reach out to students so work can be done at home
Challenges
Mr. Howard’s opinion is the success rate
of high school dropouts is significantly higher in adult education
Majority of students that he has seen enrolled are minority students
Mr. Howard feels that adult education is the second chance so many students need, because some learn better in this type of program
Success Rates
Rated most areas on Super Duper Delineation
Assessment as Mentor Level-Key areas below Discussion of assessment process and learning
plans is excellent due to veteran staff Online assessments like Test of Adult Basic
Education (TABE) help identify and resolve barriers
Just starting at site, so measurement of student progress is slow
Career Advisor helps with ongoing assistance to barriers

Pre-service training for new instructors is in
development due to new GED program Need improve training to reflect individual
teacher needs, school district resources focus mostly on K-12
Staff are evaluated after every term, versus annually
Highly encourages staff involvement in the decision making process
