Remember the student who received a 410 on math, but not enough overall points? This student needs to make up 80 points? Perhaps you have a student like this. Well...still have not heard from him.
How do you retain students, especially students who not only struggle, but also work full time and have a family?
I struggle with this all the time, but I believe the KEY to this is the relationship you develop with your students. This teacher-student trust must begin the first time you meet.
If I have not seen a student for awhile, I will call and sometimes send a card encouraging them to return. Eventually, most of them do.

GED Orientation
Are you thinking about taking the GED? If you are, you need to contact either your state Department of Public Instruction or your local GED Center. Find out what you must do in order to get into classes and take the tests. I do know that in the state of Wisconsin you must first attend an orientation.
The orientation will explain the GED and the requirements, assess in the areas of reading and math, and have you complete required paperwork.
It is an important first step. It also connects you with someone who is concerned about YOU and your future. I see the GED as a stepping stone into your future. Once your GED is complete, it will open up a whole lot of opportunities for you!
