Models for Transitioning ESL Students to GED® Seekers

The work of the 2019-2020 ESL PLC focused not only on CASAS and BE training but also on how best to transition our Kentucky ESL students to GED® seekers. The best practices reflect suggested transitions in IELCE programs (contributed by BCTC) and GED® contextualized instruction for non-IELCE programs (contributed by West Kentucky CTC). Both infographic models are accompanied by a FAQ document with contact information for questions. These highlighted models are not meant to be a rulebook to follow; rather, they should be guiding considerations to tailor to local needs and resources.

BCTC Innovation Plan: A Team Approach to GED® and MSG Attainment

The BCTC Innovation Plan begun in 2019 took a broad, sweeping approach to addressing the needs and outcomes of their students. To do this, BCTC’s PLC developed four teams. Each team identified specific products, strategies, or processes that would address their selected area. The teams included MSG Attainment, GED® Attainment, Community Outreach/Partnerships, and Distance Learning. During FY2021, the teams expanded on and refined elements begun before the pandemic closed the program.
