Adult Education Classes Promote Workplace Communication

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Meaningful conversation between workers and managers benefits confidence, efficiency, productivity while promoting trust and respect. When workplace “culture” thrives on the strength of shared values and effective communication, earnings and profits dramatically increase. On the other hand, when workers feel separated from their work and their leaders, both the work and the bottom line suffer. When workers enroll in and complete adult education classes, they build literacy and numeracy skills, which allow them to “own” their work. Understanding procedures and processes, anticipating steps in completing a task, workers invest in the quality of their work. Adult education classes build workers’ command of spoken and written English so that they communicate more efficiently and effectively with their managers. Adult education classes develop workers’ math and problem solving skills so that they require less guidance.

Managers sometimes talk about “getting everyone on the same page.” Adult education classes do that—literally.

 

Adult education classes must have a high level of interactivity

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Research has shown that media tools such as radio and television, although useful in adult education, lack interactivity. The learners at adult education classes thrive on the interactivity provided through the Triple E method of instruction. Learners must have the opportunity to have social contact and learn from their peers. They also appreciate live feedback and guidance provided by the lecturer. They want to ask questions, get answers and practice their skills. Many of the learners are totally computer illiterate and as such will be more frustrated by having to use equipment that they don’t understand. We don’t place more obstacles in the learner’s path, but instead provide environments suitable for learning quickly without added frustrations through our adult education classes.
