ADULT EDUCATION

 

 

 

Welcome to the Adult Learning Center web page!

 

My name is Karen Stugelmeyer and I am the Adult Education Teacher.  I work with adults in GED preparation, I teach computer skills, and I also lead job readiness training. 

 

 

I graduated with a B.S. degree from the University of Mary.  Before coming to Enemy Swim Day School, I managed a Volunteer Teaching English Abroad program in China and Mexico for Concordia Language Villages, Concordia College in Moorhead.  I also worked as a Career Specialist.  I enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures.  I also love working with adults in education!  My husband and I have been married for 32 years and we moved to Webster from Moorhead in the late autumn of 2009.  We have two grown sons who live in the Seattle area.

 

Please stop by the Adult Learning Center or call for information on obtaining your GED, gaining computer skills, or receiving job readiness training. The Adult Learning Center serves all adult students, who are 18 years of age or older, in GED preparation, job readiness, and basic computer software training.

  

All of the programs in the Adult Learning Center are operated as job training for students.  Regular students are expected to maintain 80% attendance.  All students must arrive on time, be prepared to study and use their time in the ALC productively.  Although part of each day will consist of structured classroom learning, and part of the day will consist of independent study, the instruction at the ALC is personalized. The classes are held each morning.  Late mornings, afternoons, and Fridays are free for independent study.  One-on-one help is available during the independent study times. 

 

 

Dakota language and culture classes are an important part of our class schedule Tuesdays through Fridays. 

 

Cash incentives may be available to qualified students upon completion of a program.  Items through National Relief Charities are available for study hours.  Breakfast and lunch are provided for students who meet attendance requirements.

 

GED students may begin at the start of a new class session.  Students must attend a New Student Intake and have fingerprints turned in prior to beginning classes in the Adult Learning Center.  Intakes are scheduled on a weekday morning (usually on a Tuesday) and run from 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. for GED students.  Students taking computer training and job readiness are usually done in an hour.  Intakes are offered in the two weeks prior to a new class session starting.  Class sessions will run approximately 5 to 6 weeks in length.

Attending the Adult Learning Center is a step in job training.  Students working on GED preparation in the Adult Learning Center have an opportunity for On-the-Job Training as well.  Community Education provides opportunities for GED students to receive On-the-Job Training by working in the Out-of-School Time (OST) Program.  Get paid to play and help school age children learn after school while increasing your job skills and marketability for future employment.  GED Training (attendance) incentives are available to Community Education employees.  Contact Becky Bergquist, Community Education Director at (605) 947-4605, ext. 3062 or bbergquist@esds.us for more information.
