ADULT EDUCATION AND ENGLISH LEARNING LANGUAGE
Lakeshore offers programs to prepare adults to earn a high school credential, enter a college program, and/or enter employment. Instruction is provided in the areas of reading, writing, math, social studies, science, civics, career and employability education, and English Language Learning (ELL). The course of study is determined through goal setting and working closely with instructors to create an individualized plan of education.
Specific Programming Includes:
• Adult Education is designed for individuals who want to review, learn, or improve academic skills in reading, writing, math, and digital literacy. The curriculum offers students the opportunity to meet personal needs for additional education, training and/or employment.
• GED/HSED programming prepares adult students to earn a high school credential, such as the General Education Development (GED) certificate or the High School Equivalency Diploma (HSED). To earn a GED, students must successfully complete a Career Awareness course and four academic exams:
o Reasoning through Language Arts o Mathematical Reasoning
o Science
o Social Studies
• The HSED credential requires successful completion of the four GED exams PLUS the following: o Health(examorcoursework)
o EmployabilitySkillscourse
• Alternative HSED programming is also available. A competency-based, structured class option allows students to earn the HSED without taking the GED exams. This is for individuals who can, in a classroom setting, demonstrate mastery of skills expected of Wisconsin high school graduates, but who would be unable to demonstrate those competencies in a formal, timed, testing environment. This credentialing opportunity also requires a state- mandated civics test.
• All high school credentialing opportunities also require a state mandated civics test in addition to the above criteria.
• The English Language Learning (ELL) program is designed to provide non-English and limited-English speaking students coursework in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking the English language. Other subjects offered are digital literacy, citizenship exam preparation, and employability classes.
• Career and employability courses are offered to explore interests, skills, and goals for employment. Resume writing, interviewing skills, digital literacy, and other skills to obtain and retain employment are stressed.
• Lakeshore support services are offered; these include:
