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).

(that's right-- .07)? of GED completers went on to SOME kind of post secondary education or training and completed THAT.??? If you want to look at a much higher rate. contact Santa Fe Community College, which has hugely increased that number.? I would be interested to know what percent of that 7% were students who took the GED because they were too bored or otherwise unhappy in high school and decided to just get the GED and get it over with so they could get on to college. ? I actually know several of those people.? This low continuation rate sparked an interesting conversation on the LD listserve and FOB I think, on what happens in GED programs and what could be done to help GED completers to continue on. The transition discussion on one of these listservs addressed many issues connected to helping GED students continue their education or training.??

Does obtaining a GED lead to increased earnings? 2. Is there research about basic skills students who seem to have a fear of finishing (getting their GED)? 3. Are "Fast Track" GED Programs a good investment? 4. How many GED students go on to participate in some amount of postsecondary education? How many complete a 2 year degree, and how many complete a 4 year degree? 5. Is there any research out there on open entry/open exit vs. managed enrollment? You'll also find sections on discussion, research, resources and a glossary. If you know of research that is not cited here, you can add it yourself (and we hope you will) -- it's a wiki! You can also add resources and comments, too. David J.

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.

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.

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? Melinda R. Maiterth, M.A.T.
