Overview
Once students enter your program, you'll need to complete a few key steps for intake. Student intake involves an orientation to the adult education program, completion of necessary paperwork, and assessments that will provide you with a better understanding of their skill level in reading and math. You will meet with the program coordinator in order to be trained directly on how to orient students to the program, to learn more about student assessment and to feel prepared to deliver this test to students, but this module will help provide you with an overview and basic understanding of these processes and tools.
TABE
All students will take an assessment called the Test of Adult Basic Education, or TABE, as they enter the adult education program. Again, the program coordinator will help prepare you to confidently deliver this test to students. As you work your way through this module, take note of any questions you have for further discussion with the program coordinator.
