Welcome to Understanding the ABE Student!

This web-based training will provide you with information and resources that will help you better understand the ABE (Adult Basic Education) student. If you want to be effective in helping your students achieve their goals, it is important that you know about a variety of aspects regarding the adult student.
Everything that you say, do, or write can impact whether or not the ABE student is comfortable and productive in your classroom. Every student is different. Every student comes to you with unique needs and abilities. It is up to you to recognize these needs and abilities and assist your students in achieving their goals.

So, how can you be more effective when working with the ABE student? The first step is awareness. If there are factors of which you are unaware, those factors can impact the relationship you build with your student, but more importantly they can impede your student's progress.
