The Adult Education Program at Black River Technical College has as a foundation the belief

that knowledge is the key to improving the quality of life. Education puts students in

 touch with the world around them, develops self-knowledge and promotes meaningful

 decision-making. The Adult Education Program attempts to increase student understanding

 of the value of education in gaining knowledge and developing skills necessary

 for a successful future.

BRTC  adult education instructors seek to meet the needs of students and to accommodate
all learning styles through a variety of teaching methods and classroom resources:

• computer-aided instruction

• video and audio instruction

• teacher-led small group instruction

• teacher-assisted individual instruction  

A learning plan, based on an individual’s preferred learning style, is developed

 for each student upon enrollment, thus allowing the student to begin at an

appropriate educational level and to progress at his or her own pace.
