| Adult Basic Education | |
| The purpose of the Rockingham Community College Adult Basic
Education (ABE) program is to help students build basic skills in reading, speech,
writing, math, decision making, and critical thinking. This improvement in skills will
help in performing daily activities at home, at work, or in the community. Family
budgeting, banking, and job skills related to basic education are included in the program
at student’s requests. ABE is also the appropriate program for nonreaders and as a
first step towards a High School Equivalency (GED) diploma. The first step in continuing lifelong education, ABE instruction is individualized and self-paced and is designed to meet students’ needs, interests, and skill levels. |

General Educational Development Program |
|
| General Educational Development (GED) classes are offered to
acquaint students with the structure, format, and content covered on the GED Exam. The
purpose of these classes is to help students review the basic principles of math,
spelling, grammar usage, writing, and to practice reading and interpreting materials in
general information areas, literature, science, and social studies. A review of test
taking skills and strategies is also offered. The focus and length of the classes may vary according to the skills of the students. Both group and individualized instruction methods are used in classes and students are encouraged to concentrate their study in those areas where their skills are the weakest. |
