Purposeful, Transparent, Contextual, Building Expertise

Purposeful and Transparent Many students attend ABLE classes for the purpose of achieving their GED. However, few are aware of what scores are necessary or how those scores are calculated to pass the test. This activity also serves as an introduction to standards and how they are used by the adult learner. Contextual Working with information that will directly affect the student puts learning in a context that is meaningful to them. The procedure for scoring a practice GED is a real life activity that will happen in the classroom environment. Building Expertise Brainstorming about what reading means and information heard about the GED allows students to activate previously learned information to build on. Putting the new information learned into practice continues to build their knowledge base in this specific area.
