GED: Beyond the Basics Resource Guide	Training Brochure

GED: Beyond the Basics is a project designed to assist programs in the transition of adult education students to employment and postsecondary education and training. The Florida GED Plus program initiated the movement towards enhancing the GED curriculum through incorporating higher-level skills and college preparation materials. However, there continues to be a need to expand the GED curriculum to incorporate higher-level skills in more authentic contexts. GED: Beyond the Basics is designed to address the needs of those adults who plan to attend postsecondary education, as well as those adults who:
" are seeking better jobs and need higher-level academic skills to enhance their employability; and
" need instruction in higher-level skills in the areas of reading, writing, and mathematics to pass the GED.
It has often been a commonly held belief that students planning to go to college need to take more rigorous coursework than those going directly into the workforce. Today, however, many employers are convinced that entry-level workers need the same knowledge and skills as college-bound students. Preparing all students for both postsecondary education and the workforce should be the goal of every GED program.
