[Povenmire, Alisa]

Hello all,

Thank goodness for a break in the heat!  Here is a great summer professional development opportunity offered by our friends in the Southeast.  For even more information about the course, see the attached flyer.

SABES Southeast is pleased to offer the following online course:
Research-Based Strategies and Models for Adult Transitions to Post-Secondary Education.

Date:   July 28-September 29, 2010
Teleconference: August 3 or 4, 2010, 1 pm EDT

Time: Approx. 3-4 hours per week; 24 hours total

Presenter: Barbara Hofmeyer, bhofmeyer at ciesc.k12.in.us<mailto:bhofmeyer at ciesc.k12.in.us>

Workshop Description:
Participants will read and discuss the research on the changing workforce and examine the reasons why adult learners need to go beyond the GED to advance their earning potential. Examine program models that support adult transitions to postsecondary education. This course was developed and written by Sandy Goodman, Director of the New England College Transition Project of the National College Transition Network at World Education.

Learning Objectives:
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

 *   Identify the economic factors that point to the need for education and training beyond the GED and English language study.
 *   Describe key challenges adult learners face, particularly under-prepared students, in accessing and persisting in postsecondary education.
 *   Describe a variety of strategies that contribute to persistence in postsecondary education.
 *   Describe the key strengths and limitations of five models of adult transition programs.
 *   Describe the economic and educational landscape in your local area.
 *   Articulate the need for college transition programming to support the successful transition of adult learners to postsecondary education, based on national and local data.
 *
"Staff development of 10 PDPs or more may be used as coursework for the ABE Teacher's License if it fits the criteria in the Guidelines."
