However, the reasons tend to fall into three main categories: employment needs/requirements; pursuing further education usually in college or trades programs; or self-development.  \nEach adult learner has their own learning preferences and coping strategies. They also have competing priorities (usually family or work), which often can become barriers to completing studies. Some adult learners may have learning difficulties or disabilities which may or may not have been previously identified. In addition, English Language Learners attempting the GED course work often do not have the English language skills required for success in reading and writing tasks; nor do they have sufficient numeracy to handle the more advanced topics (statistics and algebra) in math and science. With these challenges in mind, extra learning support outside of class is often required. As the facilitator, you will need a flexible approach; you will need to adapt to the needs of the learners; and you may need to refer learners for extra assistance or counsel.  \nSpecific things required for you to facilitate the activities in this guide:  \n1. TheSteck-Vaughn Complete Canadian GED Preparation Manual is a central resource that you and each learner should have  \n2. Each learner requires pens, paper, binders, and a Casio Fx 260 scientific calculator; these resources are used throughout the program  \n3. Pre-assessment Template is required to enter learner marks for Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Alberta GED and Essential Skills Pre-assessment.xlsx)  \n4.
