Whitby Free Pms, Wednesday, Match 23. 1994, Page 31 Aduits get a second caeathihcol By Erin O'Connor Whether it's to help aduits make up credits toward a high- schooldaiplorna, or Vo upgrade their existing skills to a competi- tive levell, tM Aduit Learning Centre in Oshawa offers rnany courses. The.continuing education pro- gram is set up to help adults in ail areas, including English, math and computer courses. "When someone calîs and says lI want to upgrade mny skillsj," says Karen Burwell, literacy co- ordinator and teacher at the learning centre 'we find out where they need help, and then find them a section they'd flit into." Prospective students are then given a written evaluation in reading, writing, spelling and math. For those who dislike tests, Burwell says, "it's not a test, but an evaluation, s0 there's no pressure Vo do well." After evaluation, a student can then choose from a wide range of courses that can earn credits from grades nine Vo Ontario Aca- demic Credit (OAC). In addition to these, the centre offers courses for college and university graduates who want to upgrade their skilis or know- ledge. As well, non-credit courses are available in general interest areas such as computers, photo- graphy, dance and fitness. Th ere are many reasons why aduits corne Vo the centre to complete their high school educa- tion. ofIf they didn't like or do well in School as teenagers, dropped out, were iii for part or ail of the year or had learning disabilities, then finishing high school successfully was sometimes tough," says Bur- well. So they decide to return Vo complete the courses they either missed or failed. The centre also holde courses in English as a second language, "as one-third of our students are from- another country," says Bur- well. This course is for those who want Vo speak, read or write fluent English. 11Prograrns are available Vo fit any schedule, at an y level, and the classes are small, therefore there is more iiidividual atten- tion available , says Burwell.
