Adult Foundational Education
Our Adult Foundational Education strand addresses the core components of reading and writing, tailored for native English-speaking learners at or below a 5th-grade equivalent literacy level. This strand emphasizes the practical application of foundational skills, integrating phonics and fluency development, targeted vocabulary acquisition, and strategies for improving both writing and reading comprehension.
English Language Learning (ELL)
Our English language learning strand focuses on strategies and instruction for students who range from low beginning to advanced levels. Topics include strategies for developing vocabulary and sentence structure and building conversation skills at any level.
High School Equivalency (HSE)
Our High School Equivalency (HSE) strand focuses on skills necessary for obtaining the GED and HiSET. Topics include various aspects of reading and writing around these exams and how to effectively prepare students for success on the exams.
Writing
Our strand on writing instruction, new for 2026-27, focuses on developing frameworks for writing, such as the writing process, real-world application of writing skills, and explicit instruction. The strand also addresses writing anxiety, building learners’ confidence as writers, and the use of digital tools that can be used in both 1-1 and group instructional settings.
