ACAdemics

CAHSEE WAIVED: The State of California has suspended the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) for the 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 school years. Students who completed grade twelve in the 2003-04 school year, or a subsequent school year, and have met all applicable graduation requirements other than passing the high school exit examination, will be eligible to receive a diploma.

California has approved the use of three high school equivalency tests (GED, HiSET, and TASC) for students 18 years old and older for the purpose of receiving a California High School Equivalency Certificate.

Before signing up for the official GED, HiSET or TASC exam, most adults find it helpful to enroll in a preparation program. Students are pretested in reading comprehension, math, and writing skills, and then assigned a course of study to remediate any weaknesses.

The Learning Center has a variety of options for preparation: textbook-based coursework, multimedia DVDs, and interactive computer applications. Credentialed teachers and instructional aides are available at all times to assist as needed on an individual basis. High School Equivalency Test preparation students work at their own pace and attend as their schedules permit. The vast majority of students who take preparation at ABC Adult School pass the actual exam.

Students who do not possess a high school diploma or equivalency may take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) assessment to meet this requirement.

The levels are indicated in the program descriptor section. ABCAS uses the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) for this assessment. The TABE is diagnostic rather than a pass or fail type of test, and results are reflected in grade level equivalencies, kindergarten through 12th grade.

Industry certification is available with the majority of career paths.

Attendance Policy In order for an adult education class to remain open, sufficient regular student attendance in class is required.

Courses with low enrollment will be cancelled. Regular attendance is required for students to complete the program.

Students may be dropped from class if they do not attend the first class meeting, and after three weeks of absence. Please let teacher know if you will need to be absent for more than 2 weeks.

CTEC Attendance ABCAS encourages and expects all students enrolled in programs to attend regularly to derive maximum benefit from the instructional program, and develop habits of punctuality, self-discipline and responsibility.

Mission Statement The Mission of the ABC Adult School is to improve the quality of life by providing our diverse community with meaningful opportunities to fulfill personal, educational and workplace goals through life long learning.

Campus Information We have two main campuses, our Cuesta Campus and our Cabrillo Lane Campus.

Cuesta has 27 classrooms and about 18,900 square feet of instructional space, and Cabrillo Lane has 29 classrooms with about 20,300 square feet of instructional space. Each campus has a variety of classrooms set up for various classes and programs. Our CTE classrooms are provided with computers and monitors for student learning and individual use. Each classroom on both campuses is equipped with a computer and monitor, a printer, a document camera, projector, and screen to use with the projector. This allows each teacher, of any program, to access the internet in order to prepare instructional material and to have the ability to show these materials to the entire class. Many of the classrooms also have something called “Smart Eyes”, which allows the instructor to show the same information on each monitor in the classroom.

Campuses also provide program specific labs for Pharmacy Technician, Medical Assistant, and Medical Billing Specialist as well as 2 computer repair labs, 2 Macintosh Media Design labs and several office skills labs. ABC Adult School has over 350 computers available for student and staff use.

At Cuesta, there is the Assessment Center, which can be used for CASAS testing, and for tests such as the GED, HiSET, CAHSEE, and is a Pearson VUE testing center.

Room 7 at Cabrillo Lane is equipped with 24 computers that can be used for CASAS testing and for career testing, such as Medical Assistant.

All rooms in both campuses are kept clean and are provided with all needed equipment to conduct the class.

Cancellation of Courses A minimum of 20 registered students is required for most courses.

The ABC Adult School reserves the right to cancel any course in which the enrollment and attendance is not sufficient to warrant continuation, and to change class hours and/or days as necessity demands a week prior to the first meeting. A full refund will be issued within 4 weeks of class cancellation upon student’s request. No refund of community education course fees without a student’s request and receipt. Community Education classes will be cancelled one week before start date if pre-registration numbers are very low.

Career Assessment Career Assessment is a systematic process of evaluating the career abilities, interests and aptitudes of the student in order to provide assistance in making informed decisions about a career choice. This free service is available to prospective or current students upon request in the CTEC office.

general information

ABC Adult School has an Assessment Center which is approved as a Pearson VUE Testing Center and fully equipped for the computer-based GED test. As a Pearson VUE Authorized Testing Center, the Assessment Center offers various standardized tests required by state regulations or as part of industry certifications. Tests include Adobe, Microsoft Certification, IC8, QuickBooks, Medical Services National Exams, GED, Evaluation Systems, CompTIA Testing, Cisco Systems, CBEST, RICA, and VMware.

In addition to maintaining satisfactory progress according to the course syllabus it is expected that students will also maintain attendance/activity in the program.

These may be defined as logging into the course, e-mailing or having phone or in-person conversations with instructors, turning in completed assignments when due and attending any scheduled classroom sessions, if included as part of the program description.

A student is expected to be in attendance at least 80% of scheduled hours for his/her program/course per grading period. Attendance requirements in programs that lead to board licensure may be stricter which takes precedence over the district wide attendance policy.

The CTE center has the responsibility of preparing students with the skills to enter the workforce. Effective work habits are paramount to students’ success. This is the minimum level of participation that is expected of all students enrolled in certificate programs. Each certificate program will provide students with a syllabus outlining assignments, due dates, and the comparable number of hours the student would have completed as they relate to the chosen Career Path.

Transfer from class to class: Students may transfer from one class to another if: there is room in the new class for another student, until the completion of the third week of the session, and after paying a $5.00 transfer fee per class. The student must pay any difference of fee. If the new class fee is less, a refund will be made to the student according to the refund policy minus the $5.00 processing fee.

Transfer between CTEC programs: Students are allowed to transfer between CTEC programs. Students who would like to change their declaration must meet with the Lead Instructor who will map out an alternative plan. Any similar classes taken for the previous program will be applied to the new program at the discretion of the Lead Instructor or Administrator. Fees will be prorated appropriately.

Transfer from another institution: ABC Adult School does not transfer “credits” from other educational institutions.

Students who have taken classes similar to those listed for a Career Technical Diploma will be required to participate in a written or practical examination to demonstrate their skills level for the following prerequisite courses in the program: Computer Essentials A and B and Keyboarding. All other courses in the program must be taken at ABC Adult School to earn a Career Technical Diploma. Student placement into a program will be at the discretion of the lead instructor and administration based on the outcome of the above stated items.

Fees will be appropriately prorated.

ESL classes: if the teacher determines that a student has been misplaced, the student may transfer at any time. A Transfer Form must be filled out and the student sent to the office. If the student initiates a transfer request, they must first speak to their current teacher. A $5.00 fee is charged for student-initiated transfers and they must be approved and signed off by the current teacher. Once this process is completed, a new schedule will be printed for the student, who will present this schedule to the new teacher, as proof that the process has been completed appropriately.

The Governing Board considers vandalism a very serious matter. Vandalism includes the negligent, willful, or unlawful damaging or theft of any district-owned real or personal property, including the writing of graffiti. Any district student who commits an act of vandalism shall be subject to disciplinary action by the district and may also be prosecuted through other legal means.
