Guided Pathways, WIOA, and Washington State's I-BEST: Blueprints for the Future of Adult Basic Education
Durden, William S.
COABE Journal: The Resource for Adult Education, v7 n1 p116-123 2018
The guided pathways approach to community and technical college redesign has significant impacts for adult basic education (ABE). The Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and Ability to Benefit provide federal support that complements the work being done in Guided Pathways. Washington state's approach to implementing guided pathways with Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) as a foundational element can serve as a model for colleges and ABE providers nationwide as they address adult basic education and developmental education redesign. Redesign elements include integration and contextualization of adult learning standards and foundational skills instruction; faculty training and support; and navigational services for students. ABE students are a diverse set of students who can help the nation meet its needs for a skilled and equitable workforce, so long as they are given a structured pathway that will allow them to succeed.
