Benefits of Adult Education

Ways Adult Education Programs benefit the School District and the Community

 
  • Persons who left school before graduating can resume and earn a regular high Adult Education Studentschool diploma.

  • Students currently in high school can "catch up" some credits.

  • Adults, youth, and children can extend or enrich learning through non-credit Continuing Education classes open to all persons in the community.

  • Adults can close basic skills learning gaps to qualify for jobs or job promotion.

  • Parents can increase their own literacy skills and at the same time learn ways to help their children increase literacy readiness for school.

  • Adults who are speakers of other languages can learn English and learn about their new communities, their new culture, and citizenship skills needed for family and work success.

  • Adult programs as part of the school district enable the entire family to engage together in learning.

  • Adult programs become possible alternative options when a learner is struggling to reach a goal.

  • Adult programs increase the value of the community investment in school facilities by extending their use as learning centers beyond the traditional school hours.

  • Adult programs provide settings in which members of the community can learn from each other.

  • Adult programs facilitate a more literate population with enhanced successes in the family, at work, and in school and community involvement.

  • Adult programs is a "user-friendly" setting in which persons can learn while still meeting job, family, and community responsibilities.

  • Many community concerns link closely to limited literacy leading to limited ability to cope, understand, or function successfully in our technological information-based society.  Often unemployment, criminal justice issues, family dysfunction, health care issues, home and school communication, personal well being and many other life concerns can change with increased literacy competence.
