| Do I Need
a New GED Program?
Making the decision to
start a GED program or add new programs in your area requires that you
as the administrator have all of the right information. New programs
may begin because of a need in a specific community or workplace or a request
from another agency may start the process. You may also need to start
a new program because of numbers. You have been so successful in
your recruitment techniques that you now have more students that you have
classrooms. Starting new programs requires extensive planning.
To be successful, you need all of the right tools before your program begins.
Your Administrative
Assignment
You have been contacted
by your local Workforce Development Board to implement a new GED program
in one of the local communities. Think for a moment about starting
this brand new program. Before that first day of classes, what will
you need to do? Complete a timeline of the steps you would take to
get this new program operating. You may wish to start with something
as simple as an assessment of the community’s needs. Remember, you
first must identify a need before you can determine an appropriate action.
The rationale for each step that you take should be documented.
