ABE Enrichment INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDE

Introduction

The ABE Enrichment Instructor’s Guide provides information for instructors working with adult learners, particularly Adult Basic Education (ABE) and ESL (English as a Second Language) learners. The information was developed to complement information in the ABE Instructor’s Guide and ABE Learner Handbook.

Feedback from the teaching community indicated that more materials for adult learners were desirable. In response, two activities on the census have been developed.

ABE Enrichment LEARNER ACTIVITY 1: Questions and Answers provides more details on census collection.

ABE Enrichment LEARNER ACTIVITY 2: Reading Numbers, Tables and Bar Graphs gives learners basic tools for using and understanding data.

Further related teaching activities can be found on the Statistics Canada Web site at
