These sessions have been very informative, not just for our clients, but also for educators who are curious to hear from a publisher focused on innovative learning tools and the instructional strategies that we believe are going to make the biggest difference on these new tests for learners and teachers alike. The new high school equivalency tests are a direct challenge to both educators and publishers to deepen the level of instruction. Having the lead trainers from GEDTS, Bonnie Goonen and Susan Pittman-Shetler, as senior consultants on our new workbooks has been instrumental in our approach to the 2014 tests. That's why our materials are focusing on transferable skills for long-term gains.
The next session will include updates on our 2014 practice tests, more new algebra and Extended Response lessons, computer skills lessons, as well as our resources for corrections. If you'd like an overview in the meantime, please let me know.
