Educating New Mexico for a Better Tomorrow ADULT BASIC EDUCATION/GENERAL EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT The SER ABE/GED Program, established in 2001, offers a community based learning environment featuring small class sizes and individual attention for adults 16 years of age and over. The Core Curriculum is focused on the end goal of a GED Diploma for each student utilizing classroom and computer-based instruction. Interim Programming (IP) short-term classes allow students immediate placement, avoiding a waiting list and greatly improving retention. Case management services are provided, as well as one-on-one tutoring as needed outside of the non-traditional small classroom. Additional mentoring is provided by tutors through the AmeriCorps Services Program and other community partnerships. The SER de New Mexico ABE/GED program provides a learning community that encourages students to acquire new skills while augmenting previous knowledge in an inclusive and low-stress environment. The program is staffed by a small group of dedicated men and women focused on student achievement. Classroom sizes are kept small to facilitate cohesive group interaction and one-on-one student/teacher contact. Sites are embedded within the neighborhoods we serve, allowing a holistic approach that involves the student, the family, and the community at large in successfully achieving educational goals. To accommodate the sometimes transient nature of our target population, students can be transferred to any of our five locations within the Albuquerque/Metro area. Our program is highly individualized and focuses on the goals of the learner. ELIGIBILITY: Adults 16 years of age and over Participants under 18 years of age must bring the following information to our intake/registration: • a signed withdrawal form from the last High School attended (must include signature from the Superintendent’s office) • Personal Identification Card and • prospective student must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
