Purpose 
The purpose of this program is to provide specialized adult general education for adult students with disabilities.  Instruction is designed to assist students to develop literacy, employability, and work related skills so that they may obtain entry-level employment.

Program Structure  
Instruction in literacy, work-related skills, employability skills, and life skills are provided that will enable the students to participate in work and community activities.  Student performance standards are designed to meet the individual needs of students with a wide range of functioning ability.

The particular outcomes and student performance standards which the student must master for the LCP must be specified in the student's plan of study based on the standards included in this framework. Documentation of mastery of student performance standards must be recorded in the student’s educational plan. The educational plan must be maintained for audit purposes.  When the student masters these individually determined outcomes and student performance standards, the student is reported as a completer of LCP A. It is expected that upon completion of LCP A, the student will transition to employment or another program that will lead to the individual’s desired outcomes.  

Special Notes:

Adult Education Instructor Certification Requirements
As per section 1012.39 (1)(b),  F.S.,  each school district shall establish the minimal qualifications  for part-time and full-time teachers in adult education programs. 

Accommodations

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities as identified on the secondary student’s 504 plan or other educational plan to meet individual needs and ensure equal access. Adult education students with disabilities must self-identify, present documentation, request accommodations if needed, and develop a plan with their service provider. Accommodations received in adult education may differ from those received in secondary education.  Accommodations change the way the student is instructed.  Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments and assessments, time demands and schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems.  Documentation of the accommodations requested and provided should be maintained in a confidential file.
