Power
Path
For basic education instructors, literacy volunteers and learners,
there is an easier path to learning success -- the PowerPath.
PowerPath is a practical intake, diagnostic screening, and intervention
system for learners entering basic skill or job training programs.
The PowerPath process makes a difference -- a powerful difference
-- in learning success! Back to

ESOL
Tennessee is experiencing an influx of immigrants from Eastern
European, Asian, and Middle Eastern origins as well. Many of
these new residents need assistance in learning to speak, read,
and write English. Tennessee's adult education programs have
responded by creating new ESOL programs and adding ESOL classes
to existing programs. Back to

Computer
Classes
Computer classes are another form of continuing Adult Education.
They provide students and/or community members with the technological
skills that they need to succeed in the workforce. We offer
four levels of computer courses: Level 1 - Computer Literacy,
Level 2 - Basic Word Processing, Level 3 - PowerPoint and Level
4 - Excel. Back to top.
Literacy
All Tennessee Adult Literacy Programs serve adults with a wide
range of abilities. Adults with low or no reading and/or mathematics
skills can benefit from specialized instructional practices
and assistance.Back to top.

GED/Pre-GED
PreGED/GED instruction is a core service of all adult education
programs in Tennessee. Tennessee is committed to assisting adults
in obtaining the knowledge and skills necessary for employment
and self-sufficiency. The Office of Adult Education continually
strives to effectively support adults in their pursuit of a
General Education Diploma. Back

Workplace
Classes
Tennessee Adult Education services have always supported workforce
development, but in recent years have seen an increased focus
in this area. Local areas provide a “one-stop delivery
system” or Career Center to provide training services
responsive to the needs of employers and individuals. Adult
Education practitioners can conduct a Job Task Analysis to identify
the critical tasks that are essential to effective job performance,
can isolate the essential skills and thinking strategies required
to complete job tasks, and can design customized instruction
and classes to upgrade employee skills.Back

OPT
The Official GED Practice Test is designed to evaluate a candidate’s
readiness to take the full-length GED Test. The practice test
contains half of the number of questions found on the GED test.
Scores on the practice test are based on the same standard scale
that is used for the GED test. The OPT helps instructors identify
candidate’s general areas of strength and weakness. The
OPT provides candidates with experience in taking standardized
tests and enables the candidate to experience the types of questions
that are on the GED test.Back
