About

“The state of Washington’s Integrated Basic Education and Skills Training (I-BEST) program is nationally recognized as an evidence-based instructional model that supports career pathways. In an I-BEST program, two instructors are paired in the classroom- one to teach professional/technical or academic content; the other to teach basic skills in reading, math, writing or English language- so students can move through school and into jobs faster.”

https://lincs.ed.gov/professional-development/resource-collections/profile-584

Purpose:

Assist Amarillo College with student completion of academic coursework by providing adult basic education (ABE) supports to students through a mixture of four different levels of integrated instruction models. While also providing advising and scholarship opportunities to fund student certifications, tuition, books, tools, and other resources needed to succeed during their academic or CE program ($300-$600).

This model assists the college with increased enrollments, retention and completion efforts that focus on getting students in a middle-skilled job with the potential to earn a sustaining -wage.

Levels of lntegra ed !Instruction

Based on om observations, o· I-BEST courses

during four site visits and inter."iews with program

administrators and faoulty; we cleveloped the following

typology of integ,ratioo ro ~ the various levels of

integrated mstruc · oo itha · in -BESl classrooms.

Model One: on- ntegrated nstruction

The professio:nru.technical instructim ·s delivered as it

norma ly would be. The basic s ·11s instructor assumes

a support roJe, and assists students woo are strugg ljng

with the professionaf-technical conte ·.

Model Two: o -lnteg a ed nstruc ion w ith

Separate Context alized Bas·c Skil ls

As in Mode1 One the professionall-tedmical instruction

is delivered as 1it normal wou , be with no change, in

the cu:nicuJum. Thie pwfessionan-tectmical and basic

skills instructors jomtly identify the basic skilts that

are needed to succeed · the oourse wh"ch are then

taught sepm:atety. The oos·c s · s instnictor assumes a

support role and focuses on il:hese· ski: s.

Guidance:

Career Ready You (CRU) provides I-BEST services at Amarillo College in three Career Clusters-- Healthcare, Industry, and Business & Technology.

TWC guidance for AEL programs serving populations in an institution of higher education (IHE) can be located in the AEL Letter 06-15 change 1. Career Ready You (CRU) can help academic students that do not have an associate or higher degree and verify skills are deficient based on the TSI in any of the three domains (Reading, Writing, or Math). Essentially stating the TSI cut score falls below college -ready. Additionally, students are required to complete all TWC participants eligibility requirements.
