SUMMARY:GEDTS Tuesdays for Teachers: Close Reading & GED Tech Apprenticeship Program Update
DESCRIPTION:Register here. \nContent Session (1 hour): Starting the New Year with Close Reading Session \nIt’s time to be serious about close reading. Survey responses received from you echoed a desire for more strategies to improve Reasoning Through Language Arts results. Over the past few years\, we have focused on mathematics. We’ve worked hard to help students build their math skills — and we are seeing results. Now\, we need to transfer some of that instructional energy to reading.

We will explore reading skills students need across the content areas. \nTopic of the Day (1/2 hour): GED Tech Apprenticeship Program Update  \nThe GED Tech Apprenticeship Program\, a partnership between WithYouWithMe and GED Testing Service\, continues to build momentum since the successful Job Fair held in Los Angeles in October 2023. Join Gregory Larson\, GED Coordinator/Adjunct Faculty at Los Angeles City College (LACC)\, Vicki Greene\, and Tom Moore as Gregory reflects upon the impact the program is having on participating LACC students following the Job Fair.
