Melinda,

In April of 2007 I wrote an article for the Texas AE journal about
transitioning GED completers to post-secondary.  

You can find "After the GED: Helping Students Take the Next Step" on the
TCALL Web site at http://www-tcall.tamu.edu/newsletr/apr07/apr07k.html
I noted statistics from several research studies and reviewed resources
for teachers and administrators. You may find some useful leads in the
resources at the end of the article.

Hi- Thanks! I am looking for overall numbers (general) of students who
graduate with their GED and go to college. I have a student who is in
college and is doing a paper on GED grads who go on to college and I
can't find that article... I have been watching the prof. dialogue and
thought I ask the world. Thank you very much-

Do you have a web site?

Wiki

The Learner Perspectives section of the Adult Literacy Education Wiki
has recently been updated. This section of the wiki contains an area
where students can try out their online skills by posting their comments
in a forum or by reviewing computer programs (as part of an online
survey). The page has directions for how to add and edit text, so that
learners and/or their teachers can become familiar with the process of
participating in a wiki. The forum has yet to be used, so your learners
could be the first! It would be great for a class working on their
computer skills. 

The Learner Perspective section also has links to publications that
contain student writing and links to some mp3s (which have learners
telling their own stories). This section also has a place where programs
or publications can post calls for student writing (such as the recent
call for Women's Perspectives #3 (2008) / Women & Money). 

The address for this section is
http://wiki.literacytent.org/index.php/Learner_Perspectives.
