We are documenting more promising practices on an ongoing basis. The transitions components in these 25 progams are privately funded, making it more difficult for others to replicate wholesale, but some of their practices can be incorporated into ASE programs. The issue is that there are no designated public funding streams for ABE-to-College Transitions in most states or at the federal level. Until there's a change in policies and concomtant funding, it's difficult for our field to move forward in this area.

In fact we developed a program called succes through transitional english program (STEP) many years ago. It is available from ERIC. Andres >>> khinson@future-gate.com 8/12/2005 7:03:07 AM >>> 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. Regards Katrina Hinson 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.
