Promising Practices for Transitioning Students from Adult Education to Postsecondary Education
This report addresses the successful transition of students in adult education non-credit programs to credit courses.
This report examines the literature on practices and programs seeking to improve students’ transition from adult education to postsecondary education. Ultimately, the report seeks to provide practitioners with models for effective strategies in transitioning students to postsecondary education that can be implemented at community colleges throughout California.
From a review of more than 40 references, a total of 17 effective practices emerged. Because this
report has been created as a follow-up to Basic Skills as a Foundation for Student Success in
California Community College, it uses the same four major categories to organize the effective
practices uncovered in the literature:
- organizational and administrative practices
- program component practices
- staff development practices
- instructional practices
The report examines practices in each of these areas and provides examples from adult education programs nationwide and makes recommendations for further research.
