SUMMARY:GED Testing Service: Shared Strategies for Student Success with Debi Faucette
DESCRIPTION:GEDTS writes\, “The 2023 Annual GED Conference in NYC was an opportunity for GED Testing Service to provide a robust slate of concurrent and plenary sessions to provide learning and networking opportunities with colleagues. It was also an opportunity for GED Testing Service staff to listen and learn from our colleagues so that we can better serve you\, and in turn\, better serve our adult learners. You were heard. We appreciated the thoughts and comments regarding professional development and in the months since the conference we have taken action to create a framework to respond to what we have learned to date. We will share our initial ideas to move ‘Back to the Basics’ in professional development and reveal how we can collaborate to set the stage with Tuesday for Teachers to build to the 2024 GED Annual Conference. \n “We are also excited to share that GED Testing Service has partnered with WithYouWithMe\, a social impact tech company\, to provide students with access to resources and services that can open doors to new opportunities and careers. Adult educators will have an opportunity to learn more about this partnership and how it can help their students.” \nRegister here.

While collaborating with other educators\, campers will have the chance to engage in a variety of activities that offer practice with new tools and targeted exploration to see how generative AI can be applied to support teaching and learning. Following the summer camp theme\, EdTech will embark on an adventure to see how generative AI can boost creativity (arts & crafts!)\, save teachers time (show & tell!)\, and assist in content creation (cooking class!) – all while keeping responsible use of AI in focus (mindfulness!). \nRegister Here
