The 2014 GED
and C.H.O.I.C.E. Inc.
                          Jason Guard
   GED and Distance Learning Specialist
• Realign to updated definition of high
  school equivalency
• Increase relevance to workplace and
  college to make GED recipients more
  competitive
• National PR campaign to enhance the
  image of the GED
• Modernize the test with computerized
  administration



Why a New GED?
The Assessment Guide says:
 Aligned to the Common Core
 55% algebraic reasoning
 Writing in three out of four sections
 Depth of Knowledge in place of Blooms
  Taxonomy
 Computer-based testing means teaching
  computer skills to everyone
 Complicated question formats require new
  approaches to instruction/practice
 $120 for the first year


What Do We Know?
 Tests your prior knowledge
 Multiple tabs per reading passage
 Writing that requires research and
  planning
 Complicated multi-faceted interface




What Does It Look Like?
   Examples not representative
   The test hasn’t been normed yet!
   An ambitious computer-based test will
    inspire ambitious computer-based
    instruction
   A for-profit test will have to go out for bid
   Stackable credentials will provide stepping
    stones to a GED and beyond




Read Between the Lines
 Focus on incremental progress: improving
  learning outcomes, digital literacy...
 Target higher level learners for your
  services
 Transfer more responsibility to the learner
 Focus on economizing and efficiency in
  the face of expensive tests
