Program Summary<br />
Many of our Adult Basic Edu<strong>ca</strong>tion (ABE) courses<br />
are college upgrading courses equivalent to those<br />
of the Grade 10, 11 or 12 levels in the K-12 system.<br />
Students may take the specific courses they<br />
need as prerequisites for entry to post-secondary<br />
studies or they may take all the courses necessary<br />
for a level completion up to and including the BC<br />
Adult Graduation Diploma (Adult Dogwood, see<br />
below).<br />
English as a Second Language (EASL) courses<br />
<strong>ca</strong>n help individuals who do not speak English<br />
become fluent in both written and conversational<br />
English, and are available on an individualized<br />
basis on most <strong>ca</strong>mpuses.<br />
Adult Special Edu<strong>ca</strong>tion (Transitional Training or<br />
TT) is for adults with special needs or disabilities<br />
so that they may move to independent living or<br />
prepare for the world of work. It is available at<br />
Castlegar, Grand Forks, Nelson (Silver King) and<br />
Trail.<br />
Selk<strong>irk</strong> <strong>College</strong> also works with a community<br />
partner, the Columbia Basin Alliance for Literacy<br />
to deliver Adult Literacy Programs in all six<br />
communities.<br />
Program Objectives<br />
Adult Basic Edu<strong>ca</strong>tion at Selk<strong>irk</strong> <strong>College</strong> is<br />
designed to allow mature students to develop<br />
a<strong>ca</strong>demic skills, personal management skills and<br />
teamwork skills for use in the labour force, in further<br />
a<strong>ca</strong>demic training and in their communities.<br />
Offerings range from fundamental skill levels to<br />
the equivalent of Grade12 completion. Students<br />
may also prepare to write the General Edu<strong>ca</strong>tion<br />
Diploma (GED) examinations or the Language<br />
Proficiency Index (LPI) exam. Adult Basic<br />
Edu<strong>ca</strong>tion classes are held on Castlegar, Grand<br />
Forks, Silver King (Nelson) and Trail <strong>ca</strong>mpuses as<br />
well as in the <strong>College</strong>ís Adult Learning Centres in<br />
Nakusp and Kaslo.<br />
Adult Basic Edu<strong>ca</strong>tion is student-centred and makes<br />
every effort to accommodate studentsí individual<br />
learning needs. When learners require specific skills<br />
development rather than complete course credit,<br />
ABE staff are able to design an individual learning<br />
plan that builds these specific skills in reading,<br />
writing, math, or computer literacy.<br />
