Adult Basic Education (ABE) The Adult Basic Education program is designed to help students who need to improve their reading, writing, speaking, problem solving, and math skills. These classes can help students prepare for working toward a high school equivalency diploma, advancing in developmental math and English courses, or functioning more effectively in society, in a job, or in the family. Career Ready Program for HSE and AHS Students Career READY prepares adult learners to complete their Adult High School (AHS), or High School Equivalency (HSE) diploma and, concurrently, complete the mastery-based learning activities required to enroll into a certificate, diploma, degree, or Continuing Education program at a postsecondary level. Adult learners that engage in courses under the College and Career Readiness section complete classes under the Basic Skills Program (BSP) course code. The CCR courses are entitled BSP 4002 (Transition English) and BSP 4003 (Transition Math). The courses provide an opportunity to customize foundational English and mathematics content in specific areas and will include developing a growth mindset. Topics include developing the academic habits, learning strategies, social skills, and growth mindset necessary to be successful in college-level English and mathematics. Upon completion, students should be able to build a stronger foundation for success in their gateway level English and mathematics courses by obtaining skills through a variety of instructional strategies with emphasis placed on the most essential prerequisite knowledge. 2022-2023 Rockingham Community College 79
