Through collaboration, staff can tailor the components and activities to meet the individual needs of each program.  \n􀂐 PAM Components:  \n• Pre-Enrollment: applicant decides which service (GED or Adult Education) he/she wishes to receive.  \n• Orientation: staff welcome adult learner(s) to the program & complete required paperwork, discuss the program’s follow-up procedures and sign up student for assessment testing.  \n• Assessment: provides learner and staff with education to accurately place learner in the correct educational level (National Reporting System Level 1-12) .  \n• Instructional Planning: review available learner records and assessment results to identify instructional plan.  \nPAM Training (Continued)  \nPAM Components (continued):  \n• Instruction: Staff provide instruction consistent with specific learning goals (i.e. pass GED, improve literacy skills, learn English as a Second Language) .  \n• High School Equivalency: familiarize learners with the high school equivalency, diagnostic testing, or other exams and what to do after taking exam(s) .  \n• Transition Planning: prepares learner for life outside of program by formulating an action plan to help learner achieve identified goals.  \n􀂐 Best Practice: There are many job titles used to identify staff working with adults as they progress toward goal attainment. Navigator, transition coach, or career coach are a few of the job titles used in adult education programs.  \nPAM Training (Continued)  \n􀂐 Pre-Enrollment:  \n• Sensitivity/Warm Welcome are important during initial contact as taking this step may be difficult for many adult learners.  \n• Welcome the prospective student(s) regardless of delivery ( [i.e. in](i.e. in) person, phone, email or social media) .  \n•  Inform them of services available and how to access those services.  \n► Location of program, hours of operation, and identification of initial goals/service outcomes.  \n► [NOTE: ESL may also be referred to as English Language Learners (ELL) or English Language Acquisition (ELA) .  \nKS requires managed enrollment & a minimum of 6/six hours of instruction per week for all programs.  \nPAM Training (Continued)  \n􀂐  Document if a student discloses that he/she has a disability. [NOTE: Staff cannot legally ask directly if a student has a disability but can encourage prospective students to bring in any supporting records re: past educational history or need for accommodations.]  \n• [NOTE: Adult Education Programs are required to provide accommodations to individuals with disabilities as described in the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) ([www.ada.gov](www.ada.gov)) .  \n􀂐  Important Information for Learners under the age of 18 :  \n• KS Statute requires that prospective students who are less than 18 years of age, have not graduated, and are not enrolled in high school, provide an official attendance disclaimer and attendance exemption form(s) that must be signed by:  \n► The school district in which the student resides, and  \n► The student, and  \n► The student’s parent(s) or legal guardian(s) .  \n[http://www.ksde.org/Portals/0/CSAS/CSAS%20Home/","cbCaicV32gcXIg3a","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicV32gcXIg3a","pdf",693441,33,"English","# Proficiency Attainment Model (PAM)\n## PAM Training\n## What is P.A.M.?\n## PAM Model and Quality Services\n## Best Practice: Effective PAM Implementation\n## PAM Components\n## Pre-Enrollment and Orientation\n## Assessment and Instructional Planning\n## High School Equivalency and Transition Planning\n## Enrollment Requirements and Scheduling","[{\"question\":\"What is PAM and who developed it?\",\"answer\":\"PAM is a fundamental framework for adult education programs in KS.
