SUCCESS STORIES
Anita Herring
Kalkaska
Anita Herring spent one hundred thirty hours at the Kalkaska Adult Education Learning Lab, and that helped her do something she didn't do 22 years ago...earn her high school diploma. Now she plans on going to college to study child development. "I'm really proud of myself," said Herring.
Study Skills Classes
Study Skills are important tools for the person going on to college. At the Northwest Michigan Works! Service Centers, Study Skills workshops are offered once a month by Adult Education Learning Lab instructors. Workshop participants learn how to improve their reading comprehension and effectively read a textbook. The process of taking meaningful notes and preparing for tests is also reviewed. Time management is another important skill for a successful college experience.
