Page 10: How can SABES help you?

SABES has already started working with teachers from each region to design a license-support system for license-seekers. This system provides lots of flexibility, collaboration, and peer support in a non-competitive, non-judgmental atmosphere. Take a look at "Margaret's Excellent Adventurer" below to get an overview of the SABES's proposed approach to the ABE license process. And don't hesitate to contact SABES for help!
