Good luck! ________________________________ From: nifl-fobasics@nifl.gov on behalf of Deanne W Mogon Sent: Tue 4/5/2005 10:23 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:1365] RE: FW: RE: External Diploma Program Thanks for your quick response.

It has come to be a terrific option for students who are non-native speakers of English because there are no timed tests. The ESL students who have achieved the highest level in ESL can go to ABE for help and prepare for EDP. Right now I am working with a Columbian woman, a young Polish man and a Moroccan gentleman. This program suits them since their work ethic is very strong and they are highly motivated. They come in once a week to present the work they have done at home and answer questions about their work when they meet with their assessor. No timed testing is involved and they get the opportunity to re-test or re-do items. It has worked very well for this group.

Thank you, Deanne Mogon ESL Coordinator Davidson County Community College -----Original Message----- From: Sue Pierson [mailto:spierson@crec.org] Sent: Thursday, March 31, 2005 3:41 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-FOBASICS:1361] RE: External Diploma Program All of our sites offer GED prep, many offer adult credit diploma programs and some offer the EDP, in addition. The more mature student with life experience is the perfect candidate for EDP, although, we certainly get younger students (18-21) in EDP, as well. By CT state law, we must service all those over 16 years of age in our adult ed programs. We discourage the youngest ones from doing EDP because of the lack of life experience. Some of them, though, do have life experience; like the young mothers or the young people who have always been "on their own". The program takes 6-12 months to complete. Some highly motivated people with higher level skills can do it in less than 6 months. There is definitely a population of adults without a high school diploma who would benefit from this program. I always say, if you do not have EDP, there are people that you are not serving. They are not even coming to your door because they know about GED and traditional high school credit programs.
