Singer, Elizabeth
This compilation of program materials serves as an introduction to Florida's Brevard Community College's (BCC's) Competency-Based Adult High School Completion Project, a multi-year project designed to teach adult administrators, counselors, and teachers how to organize and implement a competency-based adult education (CBAE) program; to critique and disseminate locally developed CBAE curricula for high school completion based on state curriculum frameworks and performance standards; and to develop and instruct teachers in the use of a training manual for CBAE classroom management. The compilation includes the following: (1) program objectives for levels I (grades 0-4.9) and II (grades 5-8); (2) instructions for teachers on using the Level II learning guides effectively; (3) an outline of the student progression plan for Level II; (4) a blank CBAE competency mastery chart; (5) informational materials designed to clarify the relationship between community colleges and the CBAE High School Curriculum Project; (6) a list of exemplary programs at BCC; (7) sample sections focusing on common illnesses from a health course student learning guide and sections on notation from a mathematics learning guide; and (8) the Florida State Department of Education's "Adult Education Program Course Standards: Adult Basic Education."
