ABSTRACT This workbook, one of six professional development manuals

prepared by experienced General Educational Development (GED) instructors, is designed to assist the instructor setting up and operating a GED classroom. A pretest and posttest appear first. Each of the units begins with a list of objectives and then provides instructional material. Unit 1 explains the multiple components of the GED Test and addresses the skills array and passing score levels. Unit 2 describes the various testing measurements available to establish a skill profile for each student. Unit 3 explores the curricula for a GED program. It presents each curriculum section and reviews the performance standards for each curricula. Unit 4 examines the various teaching methodologies appropriate to GED instruction and presents some successful test-taking strategies. Unit 5 explores the classroom and student management techniques useful to the GED instructor. Unit 6 examines why state and national efforts for educational improvement have initiated the development of tracking systems for program accountability. Appendixes contain pretest and posttest answer keys, instructor self-evaluation, and student evaluation. (YLB)
