reports (E.O.M./Attendance/C.O.S.)
 To monitor and maintain student test data
compiled on computer program
 To create and document a time frame for testtaking and program exiting for each student
 Strictly enforce student attendance : Two week
unexcused no-shows = dropped
Individual Academic Student Plan
One-on-One discussion about test scores
Realistic goal-setting for student.

Assistant Expectations
 To facilitate the record-keeping
(attendance/C.O.S./Vouchers) aspect of class
data.
 To assist teacher with student practice testing
(P.A.-P.B. or GED book samples).
 To assist teacher in calling students who are not

 To assist in quality record-keeping and
communication with HEP staff
 Coordinate and direct the study groups in
designated areas.
Student Expectations
 To test into the HEP program with a minimum
score of at least 380+ in Math, and Reading
 If not, students need to be put into a Pre-GED
training program
 To come to class prepared with paper and
pencils and be on time
 To come to class with a Casio 260-fx calculator.
 To call if not coming to class on a given evening

Optimum Classroom Dynamics-An Effective
Prototype
 1. Take attendance (sign in sheet)
 2. First half of class - Direct teaching in Math or
 Writing.
Assistant works with study groups in either
Reading, Social Studies or Science.
• Study groups focus only on one subject at a
time
• 3-4 people in a group
• Read-a-louds and group discussions
• Support groups learn from one another
 3. Second half of class-Vice Versa
 4. Closure of Daily Lesson-Homework
 5. Support from director (with supplies and efforts)
Direct Instruction in Math and Writing
During direct instruction, small study
groups are underway in other designated
study areas

The long haul for us……………..
short term for students
Avoids stress due to constant DIRECT
teaching
Avoids burnout due to constant DIRECT
teaching
Avoids redundancy of subject matter
Allows for more one-on-one time for
student and instructor
Allows for structure and routine for
students
Optimum Plan for successful
graduation time frame
 If students come to us with an entrance score of 380+ in
Reading and Math, they should be able to test (in the
areas of Reading, Science and Social Studies) within the
first two to three weeks of class.
 Study groups expedite the learning process through
assistance and support from others
 Math and Writing should be DIRECTLY taught in an
alternating format for a six to eight week period.
 Students should then test on either of these subjects in
the respective order in which they were taught.
