DAVIESS COUNTY ADULT EDUCATION NOW OFFERS GED EXPRESS OPTION
Beginning April 1, 2015, qualified adult education students across Kentucky will have the opportunity to participate in an accelerated learning opportunity that will allow them to progress more quickly toward taking the GED test. This accelerated learning opportunity, called GED Express, is free and is offered locally at the Daviess County Adult Education center, located at OCTCs Downtown Campus through the Workforce Solutions division, at 1501 Frederica Street, Owensboro, Kentucky 42301.
The current GED test, launched a little over a year ago, allows students to take one test module at a time, which is really beneficial to the student, says Donna Butler, Daviess County Adult Education Program Director. GED Express capitalizes on this opportunity and helps students really focus and hone in on building the specific skills they need in order to earn a GED diploma as quickly as possible. We want students to be successful and will do what we can to help them move toward taking the next step, whether that is improved employment opportunities or further education or both.
GED Express offers targeted instruction to address the students specific skill gaps through a combination of independent and direct instruction in academic content areas, technology and test-taking skills. The program will allow students to take free GED Ready Tests to predict the likelihood of passing the 4 GED modules. Each test will pinpoint the areas that need more work and instructors will tailor instruction to the individuals needs. After success is predicted in a single subject, the student will pay $30 for that GED test module. Instructors will assist students in registering for the test.
