Hi. Lisa and others

Renton College in Washington State has a strong Allied Health program that provides support for ABE/ESL learners. The college also has a transition course for adult English language learners considering the Allied Health field. It may be worth collaborating with them as the college in Boston creates its transition class.

You might check with John Chadwick who is the Dean of Adult Basic Education at Renton College, and he may be able to tell you more (his e-mail is on the cc line). I also cc'd Kathy Cooper from the Washington State College Board who may know of other colleges in the state who might have a transition to Allied Health Curriculum.

Subject: [Workplace 1579] ABE to College Transition Curriculum, Contextualized for Health Careers

I am working with a consultant, Liz O'Connor of Strategy Matters, who in turn is working with an adult education program in Boston which is creating a college transitions class that will have a contextualized curriculum focused on allied health careers.

We were wondering if any of you have, or know of, a curriculum for adult learners (pre-college) which is contextualized to prepare them for success in allied health certificate programs (generally).

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
